Path of Life!

"you have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand." Psalm 16:11
This psalmist writes not of the path to life, but rather of the path of life. The one who finds it, lives! Psalm 16:11 is the OT version of Jesus' "I am the way and the truth and the life" (John 14:6). Our life is in him. The psalmist knew that humans could dwell in the presence of God right now, and know real life.
Could it be that our highest duty is to come to know God and His ways? As one of the Unity's newest ministers, I am awestruck by the joy it is to deliver the gospel message through a myriad of ways; preaching, singing outloud, the witness of our marriage, how we look at each other, praying, holding one's hand in a hospital room, listening, watching, how one dresses, smiling, to name a few.
Denis Kinlaw says "there is no higher calling available, no higher privilege than dwelling in his presence and feeding on the pleasures there. The key to living here is the wisdom found in God and in His Word."
Life is alot simpler in Labrador; less choices in everything. Only 3 kinds of dish detergents rather than 27 (size, color,scent, price, ingredients) on the shelves. I brought too many clothes. I'll never wear all the shoes (and I'm a favorite one-pair shoe-wearer!). I love the simplicity as it's given me more time for the important things; Bible study, prayer, worship, relationships, reading, and then outdoor fun and admiring the general beauty of the land and her people. In short, the 'path of life' is alot more visible. Just as our children and grandchildren were discovering their young world/path in front of them; watching them see life with anticipation and awe? God wants us to do the same through Jesus Christ. "Thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven." Matt. 6:10
