Walking Gods Way
September 24, 2018
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, This is the way; walk in it.
Isaiah 30:21
Were going this way, I said as I touched my sons shoulder and redirected him through the crowd to follow his mom and sisters in front of us. Id done this more often as the day wore on at the amusement park our family was visiting. He was getting tired and more easily distracted. Why cant he just follow them? I wondered.
Then it hit me: How often do I do exactly the same thing? How often do I veer from obediently walking with God, enchanted by the temptations to pursue what I want instead of seeking His ways?
Think of Isaiahs words from God for Israel: Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, This is the way; walk in it (Isaiah 30:21). Earlier in that chapter, God had rebuked His people for their rebelliousness. But if they would trust His strength instead of their own ways (v. 15), He promised to show His graciousness and compassion (v. 18).
One expression of Gods graciousness is His promise to guide us by His Spirit. That happens as we talk to Him about our desires and ask in prayer what He has for us. Im thankful God patiently directs us, day-by-day, step-by-step, as we trust Him and listen for His voice.
Father, Youve promised to guide us through the ups and downs and decisions we face in life. Help us to trust and follow You, and to actively listen for Your guiding voice.
God patiently directs us as we trust Him and listen for His voice.
In todays passage, a resurgent militant Assyria threatened to conquer all of Israel. But instead of trusting God to deliver them, Judah turned to Egypt for help. God had explicitly prohibited Israelite kings from trusting in anything other than God for deliverance (Deuteronomy 17:16). Isaiah warned that its futile to trust Egypt instead of the Lord (Isaiah 30:119; 31:1). The psalmist also warned of the futility of putting our trust in something other than God: No king is saved by the size of his army . . . . A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save (Psalm 33:1617).
When have you placed your trust in something other than God?

This is how he gets under the bed.
Then he lies there with just his back legs showing. It's adorable. :)
