Way of Life

Psalm 16:11

You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence of living with you forever.

Well show me, I want to see this.  That's what im thinking. He did, Jesus walked on this earth. I want joy, i miss joy. Whats your presence about anyway? Living with you forever, i did that along time ago. Sometimes the answer to life's problems is in a beer of Samuel Adams Boston lager i hold in my hand. It's nice to escape while watching Pawn Stars or these days Cobra Kai. What is my way of life these days? We both work and manage our kids schedules basically. That's our way of life. But is that a way of life? I always have wanted to follow the spirits leading which is when I would know the way of life, but man is that hard. Its about living with God forever. Having joy, having His presence. I feel His presence when he's convicting me usually. But whatever about obeying Him, then he'll show me the way. I think of people that are trapped and escaped.

I remember Andy Dufrane in Shawshank Redemption, how he carefully planned his escape, how Steve McQueen in the great escape (hilts "the cooler guy") as they called him, escaped several times only to get caught again. Then I'm reminded of the Truman Show, and this false way of life they gave this little Truman. They wanted him to live for an audience. It was a fake life, and he wasn't, he wanted to escape and build his own way, and he finally did. The song "Don't Fence me in" comes to me.

Hits me, God will show me His way but in my own way, He's always up to something.
