Winsome Walkway

  “ Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You. ” Psalms 143 : 8   NKJV When Peter plunged into the wide ocean as a walkway, it was certain he wasn’t using his brain. And when he suddenly does on transit, it was too late for him to trace his steps backward; and he was left with no other option but to cry out apparently like the psalmist “ Help me…for I lift up my soul ONLY to You ”. With sensible consideration of the economy, security, and empirical facts, a wise walkway is constructed simply on the basis of consultation with people, principals, and principalities in the society, system, and institutional setups. And always by the conflict of interests of these setups against the divine counsels, the recommended wise walkways in our world are often open to disobedience to the winsome walkway. Obviously, the winsome walkway is not usually the popular walkway, but it ...

Saints’ Senses

  “ Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You.” Psalms 143 : 8 NKJV Without a deliberate spirit constraint and scriptural guidance in the morning, the lousiness from this world’s trending stories, political roundup tables, and calls for business engagement is apt to treat anyone like a robot. Anyone who can be easily predicted can be readily manipulated, says the evil conspirator in our wicked world. But thankfully, the saints of the Lord are called into a succinctness of heavenly bliss and lovingkindness every morning. The saints’ senses are totally disconnected from the buzzing of satanic manipulations of material touch, sight, taste, hearing, and smell the moment they get plugged into the realm of the spirit early in the morning. And with heavenly instruction and spiritual guidance, the righteous can readily rest in His trust in God towards walking the day’s engagem...

Trusted Testator

  ” Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You .“ Psalms‬ ‭143‬:‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Everyone knows that healthy and productive relationships are built on the pillar of trust. Whenever trust wears off in any relationship, there is almost nothing left on the workbench that is worth salvaging. And when the psalmist approached the Lord with the prayer “ Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning ”, he was solemnly approaching the presence of the Lord with deep understanding of His position as a trusted Testator. This mindset presupposes a sad reflection of his disappointing experiences with other relationships in the world. Captured vividly elsewhere, ” From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I” (Psalms‬ ‭61‬:‭2‬). Outside the Rock of Ages are twisted testators, whose promises are unreliable and self-...

Wise Walk

“Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭143:8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ http://bible.com/114/psa.143.8.nkjv Anyone who is or has ever been at the verge of professional, political, social and economical extinction understands the distinctiveness of divine guidance. Otherwise, everyone can readily boast of the possession and control of useful intelligence for breakthrough in life. But in the shoes of the Psalmist, when all associates turned antagonists, and friends appear as enemies, it will be difficult to trust anyone, including self. Waiting to receive the loving kindness of the Lord may appears boring, taking apparent productive time and the painful seclusion from the flamboyant activities of the day. Nevertheless, it is the least sacrifice of a heart whose absolute confidence is in the Most High God. Therefore, a wise walk is not about finding a way out without waiting; i...
