Walk this Way
by Joyce Meyer - posted March 05, 2015
And your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way; walk in it, when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left.
- Isaiah 30:21
No matter what has happened to you in your lifetime—even if you have been abandoned by your spouse or abused by your parents or hurt by your children or others—if you will stay on the path on which God leads you and be willing to leave your past behind, you will find peace, joy, and fulfillment. As you walk through this process, you can find comfort in God's promise from today's scripture to guide you.
Jesus is the Way, and He has shown us the way in which we are to walk. The Lord has sent His Holy Spirit to lead and guide us in the way we are to go, the narrow way that leads to life, not the broad way that leads to destruction (see Matt. 7:14).
God says that as long as the earth remains, there will be "seedtime and harvest" (Gen. 8:22). We might paraphrase it this way: "As long as the earth remains, there will be seed, time, and harvest." When we walk in God's path, we must be patient like the farmer who plants and expectantly waits for the harvest. He looks forward to the harvest, but he knows that time will elapse between seed planting and reaping. He does not allow that God-ordained process to frustrate him. Don't let it frustrate you, either.
Today's scripture promises that God will lead us in the way that we should go. Don't be afraid, continue doing what is right, and you will live a blessed, joyful life.
Love God Today: Listen for God's voice, and keep walking on the path that leads to life and blessing.
