Off the Beaten Track

Take my hand

This is no slippery slope.

The path opens before you. You see the dirt, you see the mud.

Look closer. For the path firms beneath your feet. The leaves fall upon the ground, upon the surface.

The new path. Looks like the beaten track. Looks like the worn path. But no. A new path. The formed path. The path I have formed. The path by the still waters. The path beside. The path by. The path of the precious. The path girded by the precious.

As the leaves fall, so does the precious seed, the precious stones. Ruby, turquoise, diamond. All that glistens. All that is precious.

The precious path, the path of the precious.

Step forward, step forward with confidence. For you shall not sink. A new step, a new substance, a new strength. A smooth path. A new, well worn path. For I have worn it for you. I have smoothed it for you. I have landscaped it for you.

Come down, step on the downward slope. Take the easy path. You can come down for I have elevated you. I’ve gone before you. See. Behold. You advance beyond the best of man.

See what I have built. It is the pinnacle. The path of the beautiful. The beautiful path. The path of the beyond. Beyond innovation, beyond that which is established. Beyond that which is forecast by man.

Isaiah 52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good tidings, who publishes peace, who brings good tidings of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, Your God reigns!

My pattern, my order, my ingredients, my recipe. Wonder bake, wonder baked in, wonder full, full of wonder.

How can it be, you go to hear from the best thinkers in the land, only to hear what you have heard before. For I am before you. I have gone before!

Tread upon my steps. For I have gone before.

What is it that I have put in your hand? You look for the sponge, you look for the squeeze, something to squeeze. But what is it you find?

Your drenched hand, your soaking hand, the stream flowing from your hand. For I have put favour in your hand, I have put fullness in your hand, I have placed abundance in your hand.

Why does your hand shake? For it is a sign of my fullness bursting forth, shaking things up. Bringing order from disorder, peace and prosperity, from lack.

John 7:38 He who believes in Me who cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me as the Scripture has said, From his innermost being shall flow continuously springs and rivers of living water.
