PATH OF LIFE - PART 3

SATURDAY 28 JUNE 2025

Path of life is a spiritual reality which God's own people must value highly, because it is an error-free platform for necessitated deliverance or miraculous possibility, and it is always a path revealed by the Spirit and brought before the human perception in God's presence. It Is fitted to guide, to elevate, to direct, to deliver, to save and to satisfy the soul with fullness of joy. More below!

Reference: Psalm 16:11 GOD'S WORD® Translation (GWT)

"You make the path of life known to me. Complete joy is in your presence. Pleasures are by your side forever."

Today's article is still focused on the segmentary statement:

"You make the path of life known to me."

Firstly, to define God's active presence in your life, the standard basis for your dispositional mien in the place of prayer should be comprehensibly articulated as concretized or well-informed cognition, encompassing wakefulness, spiritual alertness, concentrated hearing and undivided attention. Under these conditions, you can assimilate and fully grasp the saintly revelation or conceptual flow of divine perspective being transmitted in God's presence.

Simply put, to always obtain a path of life, you must take practising God's presence seriously because it is conducive to placing a demand on His accurate guidance, as well as His directional viewpoint. By mentioning "accuracy of guidance and direction" I mean that "Path of life" is not a guesswork from God or a state where, God is trying to make estimated predictions to you, based on trial and error. Path of life is acceptably accurate; its a guidance-based knowledge, or "mapped out" divine direction particularly gained from God-given perspective!

Path of life can be obtained through the act of beholding God in the secret place, with an utmost expression of faith that focuses on gaining access to His guidance and direction. Biblically, seeking or practising God's presence is often associated with dwelling in the secret place. To that effect, the Psalmist says, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty" (Psalm 91:1 NKJV).

Path of life can easily be inquired of and obtained by doing this one thing on a continual basis:

"And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near" (Hebrews 10:25 NLT).

In such a saintly gathering, "Path of life" can be accessed through a word of wisdom, and a word of knowledge according to the Spirit. Zero wonder the Psalmist analytically stated: "One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in His temple" (Psalm 27:4 ESV). In the midst of the brethren, when a Scripture-based revelation hits your spirit through a Rhema, which in turn addresses a situation that is particular to you, that's a revealed Path of life.

Path of life can be obtained as a revelation of God's saving grace, from the standpoint of timely intervention and protection. To instantiate this verity, Psalm 91:16 reads, "I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation" (WEB). In other words, "I will give him a long, full life, and he will see how I can save." The phrasal verb "Show him" my salvation denotes a revelation of "Path of life." In a nutshell, God can make known to you "Path of life" in the midst of danger. As His own most prized possession, He can reveal the path to someone who is faced with deadly prognosis. That is to say, "You will see how He will save you." Got it?

Path of life can be steadily revealed to you as you function in the path of righteousness. To instantiate this verity, Solomonic Proverbial utterance reads, "I walk in the path of righteousness..." (Proverbs 8:20 NET). In other words, "Path of life" can play an important part in your functional righteousness, when "God's way of doing things" has been ingrained as the greatest or leading aspect of your consciousness.

Path of life is apparently encapsulated in the words of the Master. To instantiate this phenomenal awareness, Johannine literature numbered as John 10:27-28 reads, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand" (NKJV).

As you pay apt attention to the very voice of the Master's wisdom, you can obtain path of life, and express eternal life by living it as a lifestyle void of ruin. Stay tuned for part 4. Shalom!

Exuberant Declaration:

The Lord makes the path of life known to me in His presence. Hence, my pathway is described as the path of the righteous, which is likened to the light of dawn that shines brighter and brighter until full day. Praise God!
