Highways of
the Heart
Author

”Blessed
are the men whose strength is in thee,
In whose
heart are the highways to Zion.”
Psalms 84:5
Psalms 84:5
My RSV Bible has a note that the Hebrew
does not include the words “to Zion”. Looking further it really means the
raised pathways….His Ways…. or the pathways to God’s house.
How
wonderful to contemplate having such a closeness to God from many visits
seeking His Heart that you would have such tremendous strength of faith and
purpose because Your strength is only found in His….And to have traveled those
roads of questioning and listening and doubting and following back and forth
and back and forth so many times that the spiritual highways in your heart are
so beautifully well-worn. And that possibly others by knowing you and praying
and searching with you are able to step onto those highways and follow them
until their own paths are clearer.
The
image comes of all these winding and rolling little roads and paths and
highways creating a web-like grid in your heart…ever seeking ever drawn
further…and when the energy occasionally ebbs and the heaviness of the world
makes the path a bit too dark too see clearly, we need only to slow down, tune
our hearts, cast our burdens, be still and plug in to the Holy Spirit…and the
grid gets brighter and we can once again see the next step on the path.
