This is the way, walk in it


Isaiah 30:21

👉This passage comes from a promise to the people of Judah (The southern kingdom of the nation of Israel).

đź’•God knew the tendency of the heart of the Children of Israel.
đź’•He knows the tendency of our hearts, too!
đź’•In both, there is a leaning towards, wandering away from Him.

👉In this very passage, Judah is looking for help from Egypt and their armies and horses.
👉Even when we are prone to wander, God has grace for us.
👉He says whenever you turn to the right or the left….
👉It’s like GOD says listen; I know you are going to be tempted, fooled, or frustrated into going the wrong way.
👉But, even in that instance I have grace for you. You ear will hear. I will speak. says Our Loving God!

I. A PRECISE INSTRUCTION – This is the way
👉 The text says, “This is the way.”
👉 It doesn’t say this is a way.
👉* There is a way. *
👉 There is one way to God not many.

📖John 14:6 “Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

📖Acts 4:12 “There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people, and we must be saved by it.”

A) The way of faith
đź”–The way that God is asking us to walk in is trust.
đź”–When we are faced with decisions that seek to make us go right or left we must trust what God has said.
đź”– Daniel refused to pray to anyone other than God!
🔖God’s precise instructions call us to trust Him even when it’s tough.
đź”–*Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego trusted God! *

What faith!
They trusted God no matter the result.
To them, He wasn’t only God, if He gave them good stuff.
B) The way of love

đź”…When our heart begins to beat in rhythm with the commands of God, we run after them.
It is no longer a burden to:
đź“ŤLove our enemies,
📍Be our brother’s keepers,
đź“ŤForgive those that hate us.

🔅We can serve with a passion and energy, that can’t be extinguished if we are walking in this way.

C) The way of prayer
đź–ŤWhen we turn towards our Heavenly Guide and listen, we are walking in the way of prayer.
đź–Ť We must learn to listen to the Voice behind us.
🖍A person that never responds to the voice that says, “this is the way,” will never find the straight and narrow.
đź–Ť*Prayer was never meant to be only us talking! *
🖍*Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me and I will show you great and marvelous things which you don’t know. *
đź–ŤGod wants to guide us into the unknown where Jesus is.
đź–Ť But it is up to us to call to Him.

II. A personal invitation
đź“Ś This is the way, you walk in it!
đź“ŚThere is a call that echoes still from the lips of Jesus Christ, I am the way! You follow me.
đź“Ś We must choose to receive the salvation He offers.

♥️ LIFE LESSONS
How do we know, if we have received JESUS?
💥We will know when we begin to respond to the personal invitation, “Walk in it”.
đź’ĄWe must choose.
Will we hear the voice behind us and follow our Guide to healing?
đź’ĄThere are things, that are unknown to us that He is desperately trying to show us.

Will we accept the invitation and walk in it?
A) The choice may lead to difficulty.
B) The choice may lead to pain.
C) The choice will lead to freedom and fullness.

SHALL WE HEAR THE STILL SMALL VOICE OF GOD AND RESPOND POSITIVELYâť“
