‘Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies. Give me not up to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe out violence. I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living! Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!’ Psalm 27:11-14
My soul has an accuser (Rev 12:10), I am surrounded by enemies (v3), but there is no foe I fear more than the one who lives inside of me. The enemy within leads me down a path that seems right, but in the end leads only to death (Prov 14:12).
But the way of God always leads to life, for He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (Jn 14:6). He is the level path (v11), the narrow road (Matt 7:13-14), the easy yoke (Matt 11:30), the place of delight and blessing (Ps 119).
Lord, we look to You and live. In Christ’s name, amen.
Looking,
