The Path
I love reading my morning devotionals. Sometimes it’s almost like the author read my mind and knew exactly which verse I needed for that day. Actually, that’s just how good our God is. He knows what we need and has the power to speak to us through His Word.
One particular scripture that spoke to me one day was Isaiah 30:21 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. (NKJV). The author of the devotional went on to compare life to a pathway and I got a mental picture of my sisters and myself as small children again, running through the woods, the way we used to do. We were following a pathway that we knew would lead us home and all we had to do was stay on the path. But along the way we saw some pretty flowers so we wandered over to pick them. Then we noticed a tree that looked like it would be so fun to climb. It wasn’t too far away, so off we went. While we were in the tree we saw a creek winding through the trees a little further off in the distance. The thought of splashing in the cool water was irresistible, so we decided to go and play in it, for just a little while anyway.
Before we realized it, we were completely lost! We were afraid and didn’t know what to do, so we cried out to Jesus, “Jesus, please help us!” Of course He did. He came and took us by the hands and led the way. It wasn’t easy though; we had to walk through narrow pathways that were filled with briars and brambles, and it took some time, but we reached the pathway home at last.
That’s kind of the way it is with life. We start out good, on the right path, then we get distracted by the pretty flowers and all the other things that life may throw at us and we take our eyes off the path and we get lost. But when we cry out to Jesus, He’s always faithful to forgive and to come and lead us back home. What I really love about this scripture is that it’s telling us that He’s there with us the whole time, telling us which way to go, if we’ll just listen we wouldn’t get lost in the first place. Now, if only I could get that through my thick skull!
