We are assured that by seeking the truth we put ourselves in a place that will be near the Lord and He will be pleased with our efforts. We found instruction on how to act in the last lesson, and today we give our thoughtful response.





16. As I am Able

Protect me, O God, for only in You am I safely home. My soul knows You are Lord of all, but my being is not quick enough to understand. I will be content to help those who seek the truth and look for You, as I am able.

It may seem to go well for those who worship lies but I will not take their path or respect their names. My future is with the Lord, He supports and maintains me. He has surveyed a home for me that is pleasing, I have inherited His blessing.

I will give all credit to the Lord, He gives me advice by day and guidance by night. I see His eye upon me always, He is at my side and is my strength. My heart is glad because my future is bright and hope gives me comfort. I am already saved and will always be a part of the perfection He has created. My Lord, show me the path in this life and fill me with joy in anticipation of wonders to come.





The last lesson was about remembering and doing what is right. This lesson is a logical argument for the benefits of looking for the truth that comes our way. Get self out of the way and the Truth will have a chance to find us: we are too slow to do it on our own. This is a huge turning point in our study of this path, and in our lives.

We are small and frail and unable to understand very much but we still do what we can with what we are given. Our ability to hang onto what we have found is limited by our weakness, but the ability of the Truth to hang onto us is unlimited. We find safety, contentment, support and maintainence: we inherit a pleasing home. Because we have learned to give praises, we get advice and guidance, strength, gladness and comfort.

Real praise is giving credit where it is due. We live always in this present moment and there is not much of the past that is worth bringing except the confidence and smile we have learned to show, and how we live with others. Our eyes are on the path ahead and we can know the joy right now of the anticipation of the wonders to come.
