The Bible says, there is a river that makes glad the city of God. This is poetic language, symbolic truth, and if we can see it, this river of God is inside of us and the city He is building is in us.

The river of God is life-giving, refreshing, always full of water. This is a river that will never run dry. This is the river the psalmist describes when he says, “As a deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after you, O God.”

Every major city is located on a river, for rivers produces power. Rivers are filled with fish of all kinds, and rivers are for recreation. We have the Oceoee River here in Tennessee and it is breath taking in beauty, rugged in rapids, and twisty in its turns.

The first paths God gave us on earth were rivers. They became trade routes for people to buy and sell goods on. They were the main transportation ways from one location to the next. Rivers are a gift from God and they lead us if we let them be in control.

After the rivers were traversed, trails were created for people to walk on. The trails were paths that people followed. We in America know of the Oregon Trail, a place where many a feet have walked. Trails began by following rivers, so we now had two ways in which to travel from place to place.

This morning, the verse the Holy Spirit dropped in my heart was Psalm 109:105 “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” We as believers never have to walk in the dark as long as we continue to stay on the path of the word of God that is light.

I am seeing in the spirit paths lit with light so we do not stumble even if it is dark, we always have light on our path. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
