Walking in Peace

A late fall afternoon along the Wapack Trail.

When having "one of those days" or "one of those weeks"
When answers to prayer don't seem to be happening fast enough
Or the way you had hoped
When you are forced to slow down when you'd rather go fast...

And even on those days and weeks when all is right and good
When it's easy to trust in your own wits
When it's too easy to say, "I've got this"...
It is always wise, and never crazy, to talk to yourself
About two simple things:

"Put your hope in the LORD.
Travel steadily along His path."
- Psalm 37:34, NLT

This, too, is worship.

"The soul that loves God has its rest in God and God alone. In all the paths that men walk in the world, they do not attain peace until they draw nigh to hope in God." 
- Isaac of Ninevah, early Church mystic
