The Plain Path

                                                     Psalms 27:11
                                         "Teach me the way, O Lord"
                                         "And lead me in a plain path"

          This prayer is a great teachable of the spirit, and shows a cheerful obedience of heart. "Lead me in a plain path."  Help is sought here as well as direction; we not only need a map of the way, but a guide to lead us in the journey.Christians seldom succeed in fine speculations and doubtful courses, plain simplicity is the best spirit for a heir of heaven.  Esau was a cunning hunter, Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents because his fear of enemies. If we don't watch for enemies they will catch us off guard. Simple honesty is safe from the enemies rage.  It is wonderful to observe how honest simplicity baffles and out wits the craftiness of wickedness.  Truth is wisdom.
         Christians, if you dwell in open tents of licentiousness, the wicked will not walk away from you, they will walk toward you and curse you and try to shame you.  Then they will make use of your weakness as a plea for their wickedness.  Men are merciless in their censures of Christians; they have no sympathy for their infirmity; while God weighs them in more equal scales, and says,  "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."  While a saint is above in the eyes of God, he is only a raven in the estimation of sinners. (William Secker).

                                            And Your Families
