God of heaven I bless your name this day; your workings and dealings in my life surpass anything I could ever have imagined. Every single day I see you love me in a new way and my determination to follow you till the end of time is reinforced. The song in my heart, today, is that I need to find my way to that place where I never have to leave your presence or go far away from your grace.
The song I can hear in my heart is show me the ancient paths, lead me along eternal highways, I want to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, I want to enter your rest. If it had not been for you on my side, what would have become of me? Where will I be Lord, if you didn’t first love me? What destiny do I know I could have, had you not called me and surnamed me by your name?
If you didn’t inscribe me in the palm of your hand, who would have known if I could have made it? All these inform my resolution to remain aligned to your mercy. Your goodness cannot be measured or equalled. Lord, like Moses I say this day; that if your presence doesn’t go with me I will rather go nowhere! So please show me the ancient paths, lead me Oh, God of heaven along eternal highways, open my eyes to see your glory, give my heart the grace to comprehend your wisdom.
Even when I am not intentional enough, even when I am weak and weary, Lord, please always show me the ancient paths. I must know how to reach you every day! What will life be without your guidance? Who will hold my hand when I am tired? Who will fill me when I am empty?
Only you God of heaven can! So please show me the ancient paths, lead me on eternal highways, far from distractions, far from sin, far from pain and from unbelief… I choose to align with all that you are so I can be all that I can be.
My God and my King; please show me the ancient paths; the original path you had ordained for me to walk as your child, help me Lord to remain in that path that I will walk along eternal highways in the footsteps of Jesus; my King, Redeemer and Saviour… this oh, lover of my soul is the song of my heart and the cry of my soul…please show me the ancient paths and lead me along eternal highways.
