Proverbs 16:17-19

King James Version (KJV)

17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

I used to be kind of shy. Which led to being weak about professing my faith. Which led to becoming friends with non believers. Which led to trying to please my friends. Which led to faltering in my faith. 

This past Sunday morning, Pastor Thomas preached on the Highway to Holiness. Wow. If you'd like to hear it, go to calvarygospelchurch.org. One of the most stirring and powerful messages I've ever heard. I sat, enveloped in God's holy presence as the holy words flowed out of Pastor's mouth. 

The rest of the day, God's presence stayed with me! I felt tears at the back of my eyes! I'm so privileged to have leadership to speak into my life. I love this Holy Highway! I am as bold as a lion, as long as I follow Christ's teachings! I have NOTHING to fear!!!

"Jesus, Thank You!!! It's a joy and a privilege to walk with You! You gave me Your holy example! I am honored to enjoy Your sweet presence all day every day. Thanks for the many blessings You send my way as I journey on this Holy Highway. Love ALWAYS, Your delighted daughter."
