While I\u2019ve always believed that the Bible was fully inspired by God, lately I\u2019ve been inspired by even the divine arrangement of ideas in the Bible. For instance, the Psalmist \u2013 in the Psalm without equal \u2013 proclaims God \u201crestores his soul\u201d then goes on to affirm that God leads him \u201cin paths of righteousness\u201d (Psalm 23:3). When I was young, there was a still-popular phrase, from a generation or two before me. Seems folks had a mental image of \u201cgetting the cart before the horse\u201d and often warned against such an arrangement. In fact, as I made my plans for the future, my grandfather often cautioned me to avoid getting my cart before my horse. While I did not then, nor do I now, own a cart, nor a horse, I do have a similar problem with more modern terminology. Too often I get the order of scripture backwards. I want to be led in righteous paths, but I don\u2019t want to wait for my soul to be restored. So as you plan your week, be sure you have your cart in its proper alignment or your horse will have great difficulty in finding \u201crighteous\u201d paths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
