This is the Way, Walk in It

Prayer – Lord, You are the Way, the Truth and the Life. I choose You, Lord, and Your Way. I will walk with You…forever. 

Zion at Jerusalem. Israel.

Therefore the LORD will wait, that He may be gracious to you; And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; Blessed are all those who wait for Him. For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; You shall weep no more. He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry; When He hears it, He will answer you. And though the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore, but your eyes shall see your teachers. Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it," Whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left. Isaiah 30:18-21 NKJV (Underlined for emphasis.)

Meditate. Choose to listen to God’s word.

 

Are you listening? What are you hearing?

 

When a person listens to someone, they don’t always hear precisely what is being said. There is a communication technique that was popular for parents to use with their teens and I’ve used with all ages called Active Listening. You simply echo back to the person speaking what you heard them saying. It makes the listener pay attention to the person talking…and not focus on their own thoughts so that they don’t even hear the speaker. My mind runs ahead of myself all the time, so I really have focus on the person to whom I’m listening.

 

So, as Isaiah wrote. Listen. Hear the words of your teachers…assumed to be words from God. The words come behind you telling you which way to turn. Listen closely. Turn to the right or the left…just as you are told. Be like Jesus, be obedient. Walk in the way that you are told to walk. This is the way, walk in it.

 

Verse of Salvation ~ Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God; for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-2 NKJV
