Ancient Pathways
I walk along the pathways,
which were marked for me,
so many years ago.
I walk along the pathways,
paved by those I loved,
and even some, I didn't know.
Their efforts passed down the spirit of determination,
to make sure that I took the path which was filled with Light.
Their desire was not for me to become a loser,
in the battles of wrong or right.
I have been instructed to keep an eye upward toward the heavens,
from whence cometh my Help.
I know that, at the end of the day,
I can enter into God's rest,
and in His perfect peace, shall dwell.
It is my responsibility,
to those who trail behind,
to leave the marks of proven pathways,
where they can walk with confidence and pride.
Our Father has given us the direction,
and spoken His commands.
As we walk along His ancient pathways,
He leads us gently by the hand.
We can know our future is secure,
and our ways supported by His grace.
Shall we stumble, shall we venture,
He gently guides us back into place.
Our purpose will be completed,
His vision will be fulfilled in the end.
By His wisdom, great and powerful,
By His grace, upon which we depend.

...Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is,
and walk in it;
and you will find rest for your souls....
