Cut through and make firm and plain and smooth, straight paths for your feet [yes, make them safe and upright and happy paths that go in the right direction]…
[ Keep the Message Alive ] You've been a good apprentice to me, a part of my teaching, my manner of life, direction, faith, steadiness, love, patience, troubles, sufferings …Anyone who wants to live all out for Christ is in for a lot of trouble; there's no getting around it.
Jesus said, “At my Father’s direction I have done many good works. For which one are you going to stone me?
But the basic reality of God is plain enough. Open your eyes and there it is! …What happened was this: People knew God perfectly well, but when they didn't treat him like God, refusing to worship him, they trivialized themselves into silliness and confusion so that there was neither sense nor direction left in their lives. They pretended to know it all, but were illiterate regarding life. They traded the glory of God who holds the whole world in his hands for cheap figurines you can buy at any roadside stand
You were all called to travel on the same road and in the same direction, so stay together, both outwardly and inwardly. You have one Master, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who rules over all, works through all, and is present in all. Everything you are and think and do is permeated with Oneness.
Hebrews 12:13 2 Timothy 3:10 John 10:32 Romans 1:18 Ephesians 4:4
You are headed in the right direction when you walk with God
