Life's Road

Psalm 55:6 And I said for, Oh that I had wings like a dove! For then would I fly away, and be at rest.
7 Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah
8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.

It’s a hard road at times, but a good road. In the text David as close to God as he was, had moments when he wanted to get away from it all and just escape the problems and pressures of life.
Job said in Job 14:1 Man that is born of a woman is of a few days, and full of trouble. In the text most believe it was during the rebellion of Absalom his own son. Family troubles or as the younger folks call it “Family Drama”. David had been betrayed and as a human being, there was hurts and pain- but we must stay on the road. This “highway of holiness” and keep our hearts clean and pure before the Lord. From time to time we will need a refuge, a hiding place from the enemy as the road gets a little rough. Nahum 1:7… a strong hold in the day of trouble. Proverbs 18:10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. David said the Lord was his high tower also a rock, a fortress and a buckler as well as a horn of salvation. David learned when the road got rough and he needs protection to look to God. Life is a journey we travel and sometimes the road is not to good. Just like the roads in South America that are pure sand with holes waist deep. To be able to drive well it needs rain, as the rain compact the sand and makes good traveling. During the dry season the sand is loose and easy to slide. It just like the dry seasons in our life when our journey is a little more difficult to advance forward for and in the kingdom of God. The best driver can slide and even wreck if not careful. Prayer just like the rain will compact the road and make the journey easier During these season as always, but especially during these times we must be on guard like never before. The holes, loose sand and sharp curves, we must drive very slow and watch our words and actions, but still go forward. The Lord has promised that it would not get to bad that we can’t travel and He is ever with us, His Sweet Spirit to guide us. Yes it’s a hard road at times, but a good road that leads to glory. So I will keep traveling this old road come what may, because I know where it ends! Oh the enemy of our souls wants us to take a different road, that to the flesh looks better, but where does it end? An old song said, “I sit down to rest, for my feet had got so weary, but then I heard a voice within me say, you got to keep on walking, keep on walking. Walking in the light of the Lord, you will get to heaven someday, better get in the right way, walking in the light of the Lord”.
