When I was a kid, I like to play in the woods behind our house. Spring and fall were great, but summer days were delicious because they lasted all day long. I never went inside unless I had to … or my mother called me in. I would disappear just after breakfast and stay out past sunset when it got too dark to see. Lunch was a tomato or cucumber from the garden. We had trails in the woods that were clearly visible. The Cliff Trail and the Ironwood Tree Trail were named for obvious reasons. I’m not sure who or what traveled the trails to keep them stamped down, but they were very clear. I never got lost following those trails. David asked the dear Lord in Psalm 27:11, “Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.” A clear path is a safe place; but off the clear path is the unknown. Hey, if you follow God’s clear path, you will be safe from your enemies. Just like Christian in “The Pilgrim’s Progress”, we are on God’s clear path hiking to the Celestial City. Follow the dear Lord and you can’t go wrong. He will take you on the clear path and you will make it safely to your final destination.
