Inspiration for Paths
God directs my paths Proverbs 3:7 "In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths."
INSPIRATION AT 30,00 FEET
A brief background to choosing "Paths" as a Blog title. A few years ago, when I was a music missionary in Taiwan, I took a plane to the southern part of the island. As the plane was cruising at a high altitude, I noticed that from my vantage point I could see the paths of many of the roads and highways almost from beginning to the end. Then it struck me, that is how God sees my life with all the paths that are open to me, from beginning to the end. Rather than choosing my own paths, wouldn't it be better to ask God to choose my paths for me? Knowing that choosing His way, no matter where the path may lead, I will not fail. Praying to Him and trusting Him brings peace and assurance into my life. From that realization, this poem began to form in my mind. Let me share it with you,
The Poem
PATHS
There are two paths ahead for me,
One leads to the world, one Lord to Thee
I must decide, quickly decide which path to take,
I can't delay.
I'll pray to Thee, hold to Thy hand,
Help me to see and understand,
I must decide, quickly decide
And choose your way!
Following my Lord I cannot fail,
O'er mountain steep or deepest vale,
His tender voice will lead me on
I'm not afraid, I'm not alone,
I'll pray to Thee and seek your aid,
Help me to trust, not be afraid,
I'll trust in Thee, only in Thee and
Choose your way.
