Which path do you take in your travels? Isaiah 40:3-5

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO COMPLAIN!

   When we set out on a journey we have a goal to reach a certain place. Now some will go straight there and some will meander.

 For instance, if you are going to work which is 20 minutes away and you have 25 minutes to get there you will not appreciate coming to a detour in the road.  You would prefer to go straight there.

   However, if your work is 20 minutes away and you had planned to stop at a couple of places on the way, you would leave earlier and the stops won't bother you.

  Now, what about the heavenly path we anticipate; the celestial venture we will eventually take; what directions do you want to take there?

   Isaiah 40: ³ A voice of one calling:“In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
   

  As we cavort through life we tend to be as tall grass and bend whichever way the wind blows. Yes, we live in the world, a world of sin and darkness, yet with God's help and our obedience we can keep the path of righteousness, we can make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

   How do we do this?  We stay in the word daily-have a Bible devotional or daily scripture reading.  We pray continually, this does not mean on your knees in a dark closet, God hears you in your mind and listens.

   When we do follow God diligently, making straight our path, and not letting the winds of the world blow us off course, then, as in Isaiah 40:4 Every valley shall be raised up,every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain.

   Think about the "dash" on your head stone.  You know Jan. 1, 1950 - Jan 1. 20??,  What will your "dash" say - He/She was a God fearing and godly person; or he/she was a real rounder?

   Just food for thought and just so you know I am speaking to myself when I post.  Please pray for me as I for you.  Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
