CHOOSE: THE WAY

Choosing the Way of the Cross in last week's VBS was a way for children to begin to understand the One who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. (John 14:6)

Focusing on the "way" means to choose to do what God's word tells us to do or say. Following His way is easier when one understands, God loves us, God is for us and God is always with us.

Be kind. (Ephesians 4:32) Just two simple words---easy to say but sometimes hard for little ones to remember to do, especially to siblings. It's hard for all of us to choose the right way at certain times.

It's easier to choose the "right" way when our focus is on the cross----a great reminder for adults created by the hands of young children.

True Meditation

11/19/12 Returning from the mission trip to India, Hickman E. said that MANY in India worship in spirit but NOT in truth. There are many gods, hundreds, if not thousands, of personal gods in the faiths of Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Islam, etc. The sacred cow came to my mind.

Christianity calls one to worship One True God and to worship in "Spirit and in Truth."

For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth."(John 4:24)

So how does one find truth. John 14: 6 gives that answer. Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."  Meditate on that "truth."

W=WAY

2/8/10 Did you notice all the “W” titles in my blog this week? Weeping over sin, walking for wrong reasons, weighty challenges in life, and worries of this world. Did you notice that the resolution to all those problems were from one Source? The way to the answer of all of life’s questions is through the One who is The Way. (John 14:6)

The only way to the Father in Heaven is through the ONE who is the Way!

He is the way of wisdom. His ways are just, holy and perfect. His way led the Israelites through the mighty waters though His footprints were never physically seen. This is the way, walk ye in it. (Isaiah 30:21) Commit your way to Him…(Psalm 37:5) He is The Way---so it makes sense to walk in His ways.

• He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful god who does no wrong, upright and just is he. (Deuteronomy 32: 4)

• Your ways O God, are holy. What god is so great as our God? (Psalm 77:13)

• The Lord is righteous in all His ways and loving toward all He has made. (Psalm 145:17)

• As for God, His way is perfect;.….(2 Samuel 22:31)

Choose each day to walk in the ways of The Way.
