THE DESIGNED PATH

 There is a path in the plan of God for every son/daughter HE chooses to father. This path is best describe as the process that makes yesterday raw material today and many days to come costly luster. It’s good we don't lose sight of the personality we are going to become at the end of that pathway. WHY? The reason being that our focus on that personality (JESUS) keeps us going at the point the path looks so much like THE FURNACE OF AFFLICTION. This planned path may sometimes come with pruning/trimming with the intention to take away from us excesses that hinder us from becoming that very God's purposed plan. This process often leaves A LEGIBLE MARK on every son/daughter that passes through it (ISAIAH 48:10.TLB). For the man JOB, he says; thou HE slay me, yet I will trust HIM (JOB 13:15). This man went through THAT path called THE FURNACE OF AFFLICTION, at some points he was confused having waited for answers from GOD but nothing ,not even a whisper was giving to comfort him, but he trust the judgment of GOD. For the beloved Apostle Paul he wrote; let no man trouble me, for I BEAR in my body the marks of JESUS (Gal.6:17). Sometimes we may cry as we pass through this path be consoled that that act of weeping is part of the process ,many times you my look stupid before the world and even before those you trusted to understand you, that is also not something strange to the process. It is mostly a time when no one is meant to understand you because THAT PATH IS NOT THE TYPE YOU JOURNEY WITH PEOPLE, it’s design in such a way that you go through it yourself. Please don't forget that EVERY son/daughter chosen by GOD must pass through this PATH. Look at this promise from the father; For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are and yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of GRACE that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need (Heb.4:15-16). It’s really a big relief to know that THE HIGH PRIEST is right in the path with us.
