Volume 1/Step 3
Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!
But,
there is
a light
shining
into our
darkness
that we
can follow,
if we
surrender
our lives to
Yeshua/
Jesus.
When
we follow
our own
path,
we usually
end up
entangled
in our
own way
of
thinking.
Trust in the LORD and do good;
Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
Sir Walter Scott,
Marmion, Canto vi. Stanza 17.
Scottish author & novelist (1771 - 1832)
Anytime we go down the
path of our own thinking, we
are deceiving ourselves.
These actions just lead us
further and further from
God’s favor and blessings. If
we follow God’s instruction,
He will reward us according
to His riches in glory. If we
try to attain our desires
ourselves, we will miss all the
good things we wanted, that
God would have given us if
we had followed Him in the
first place.
Delight yourself in the LORD;
And He will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him, and He will do it.
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light
And your judgment as the noonday.
Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
Cease from anger and forsake wrath;
Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.
Psalms 37:3-8
This is what we look like when we think we are free;
we are really bound by the trappings of the enemy,
caught up in his web of lies and deceit.
