Psalm
1
We like to say there are many paths and
many ways, and while that may be true, not all paths lead to life. Some paths
lead us away from God, away from the treasure of our own true selves, away from
who we were created to be.
To find the right path we cannot listen to
those with malicious intent, we cannot follow those who are corrupted by greed
and selfishness. The right path is not
found by mocking the faith of saints or the words of prophets.
Some will heap scorn on you for believing,
but the path that God gives is the path that leads to life. On this path you
learn the holy ways of God. As you learn to walk in God’s way the Spirit of
Life plants you by streams of living water and makes your life fruitful and
beautiful to behold. You are blessed to
be a blessing through all the seasons of your life.
The alternative is to be like those who
have no roots and no purpose in life. Such
people are blown away when the winds come.
They will not hear the words, “well done my good and faithful servant.”
There are many paths, as many paths as
there are people, but only one choice that matters. There is only one choice that leads to a blessed
life: Will we choose to love God and
seek the unique path that God lays out that only we can walk?
Or will we choose the dead end street of wearing masks and trying to conform to human ideas of who we should be?
Will we seek the treasure of our own true selves and use that treasure to bless the world God loves?
