Thank you, Alden. What you said reminds me of words from an old hymn. “Simply trusting and not trying, on the Holy Ghost relying…”

I find people trying to figure things out with the natural mind when we know the natural man receiveth not the things of God. We are put in a place where we learn to trust in Jesus and we know in him we cannot fail. Let us all be in a place of constantly trusting. When we begin in the spirit let us not end up in the flesh.
Thanks again Allan for this blog. I get a lot out of it and I so appreciate you.

Thank you, Mary. George Herbert wrote some very insightful poetry indeed, most of which was published posthumously. On his death bed he handed some manuscripts to a friend and said something like, “Here, perhaps these could be published if you think there’s any value to them.” If only he had known! They were manuscripts full of gold!

Thank you for understanding and explaining Herbert’s insights so beautifully. Herbert understood his own times and what the “wise” men of his day were seeking after. He used their terms to speak of the true Wisdom. May we continually stay yoked with Him.

Jesus says, “Unless we become like children we can’t see the Kingdom.” When we realize our adoption through Christ as children of the Most High and walk in that “knowing”, we find ourselves in the Way (hidden with Christ in God). We are in a place of safety and peace. It is so good to belong to my Daddy in heaven!
Blessings to you in the Way, Allan!

Comment on The Way—My Destination by Allan Halton

Thanks, Paul. I was thinking of that passage as well (the one you quoted). “Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” It’s quite something that we can find rest in a yoke, isn’t it. We usually think of yokes in terms of work. A yoke is something the ox has to shoulder when there’s work to be done. But in Christ’s yoke we find rest, for it isn’t our own works, but His that we are involved in.

The same principle applies with regard to this highway– this walk. We are walking in Christ (Col. 2.6), and the way is a prepared way, just as in Christ the works we are involved in are “before prepared that we should walk in them” (Eph. 2.10).

Hi Allan. What an awesome highway our Lord Jesus Christ is! He said, “My yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Israel’s apostasy was not disobedience but failure to enter into God’s rest, failure to believe and trust the One who had performed so many miracles on their behalf. It never ceases to amaze me how I can be at rest in the midst of overwhelming circumstances when I simply sink back into Jesus’ presence.
The peace of Christ fill your hearts, Allan and Alden!
