Isaiah 41:10 Do not fear, for I am with
you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you,
surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
I’m still fondly remembering our last
year’s vacation down historic Route 66.
Over the years the original road was replaced with wider, straighter
interstate highways. Our guidebook took us to the remnants of the old
road. Once it took us through a ghost
town. After the new road was built
people no longer drove through to dine at the restaurants, and purchase souvenirs
or gasoline. As we walked up and down the block taking pictures I thought about
another ghost town. It is our ghost
town, created when we come to Christ and move from the attitude that life is about
fulfilling our own desires first to walking the way of God. This ghost town contains the diner of despair,
a house of hatred, the pathway of prejudice, and the hotel of hopelessness. It is one that we can joyfully leave behind.
Praise to God who always has a better way available for us.
Thank you Lord, for calming our
anxieties and giving us strength. We ask
that you be with us today and as we move through the week. Help us to leave behind things that are not
good for us, striving always towards the Kingdom life you offer. Amen.
Blessings,Paige
