What’s your path?
Hi!
Have you ever noticed that there are certain times when you follow God, and everything runs smoothly and quickly? What about the times that you follow God and you come under spiritual assault? In this week’s session, I discuss how the path of the righteous is supposed to look.
Isaiah 26:7 {NIV} says that “The path of the righteous is level; you, the Upright one, make the way of the righteous smooth.” As well, Proverbs 15:19 {NIV} states that “The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns, but the path of the upright is a highway.” The path that God has His righteousness on {aka. Believers} is supposed to be smooth and fast- like a highway. The reason for this is the same principle behind taking the interstate as opposed to surface streets to your destination. Both will get you there, but one will get you there faster and more economically. God wants us to step on to the path He has called us to and He wants us to get to our destination faster than we want to get to our destination! So why don’t we?
There are several reasons for this, one of which is the fact that when we boldly take our promised land, the enemy attacks and resists us. The attack comes because of the Word not us personally. However, this is a non-issue for the New Testament believer because we have been given authority over the wicked one.
The next reason we experience difficulty is because we become lazy. As I mentioned above, Proverbs 15:19 states that the way of a lazy mans is a hedge of thorns. The more we fool around and waste the time God has given us, the more our path pokes and prods us to get back on track. It is like the internal Holy Spirit GPS saying “Rerouting” or “Return to the route.” It is also what I call making the right thing easy and the wrong thing difficult.
There is certainly much more I could say regarding this but for now, I’ll restrict my remarks to those in the session!!!
Be blessed to be a blessing
