Love and Faithfulness ARE the Path

All the paths of the LORD are love and faithfulness *
to those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.  Psalm 25:9





The pathways to the Lord are love and faithfulness, the Psalmist writes. This week I am, like many of you, joining together with family and friends to give thanks to God for all our blessings. It is a particularly poignant Thanksgiving for me because my husband is not here with me this year. 


It is poignant also because of the shape in which the world finds itself. Life (either personally or geopolitically) does not always play out on straight, well marked paths. Often, the paths are poorly marked and full of tree roots that cause us to stumble. 


What God promises us is this: when we set out on a path, whether its well marked or barely there, God will be there. Our task is to look for love and faithfulness wherever we find ourselves, and there we will find God. The path itself may be poorly marked, but love and faithfulness are the signs assure us that we are on the right course. 


HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
