The Charted Path

By Nancy

This book is a moving testimony of how the Savior can take a broken life and restore it and how the love of Jesus, through forgiveness of those who have hurt us, can redeem and bring about something new and very beautiful in every life committed to him.

As he promised in his word, I will not leave you as orphans in the storm, I will come to you (Ps. 27:10, TLB).

The Charted Path

ThinkstockPhotos200262187001.jpg

You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest……This knowledge is too wonderful for me. I can never be lost to your spirit! I can never get away from my God! If I go up to heaven you are there; if I go down to the place of the dead, you are there. If I ride the morning winds to the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, our strength will support me. If I try to hide in darkness, the night becomes light around me. For even darkness cannot hide from God.

You were there while I was being formed in utter seclusion! You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your book.

Psalm 139.
