Your word is a
lamp for my feet, a light on my path. – Psalm 119:105
Sometimes as Christians we
find ourselves climbing sun-scorched mountains or descending into damp dark
valleys; occasionally we are rewarded with an endless landscape of beauty, while at other moments fog
surrounds us and obscures our path. God
never promised us it would be easy. Peter says in chapter 2 of his second letter
that the Lord knows how to rescue the godly men from trials. {See verse 9}
Peter does not suggest that God would protect us from the trial only
that God would deliver us from the trial.
As with lengthier journeys,
there will be times when we must stop to catch our breath, times when we may
get lost and even when we would do well to ask others for directions.
Sometimes we take paths
which do not take us where we expected, while at other times we turn a corner
only to discover a wonderful view that we have been longing for and struggling
to reach.
The question is simple: Do we want to worship Yahweh or waste time
and effort on a deity we have constructed in our own image?
