Moving in the Right Direction

“I am the Lord your God, who teaches
you what is best for you…”
—Isaiah 48:17b

Many people wander through life being pulled this way or that by the ever-changing wind of the culture. It’s a full-time job keeping up with all the trends. Even staying up-to-date with the latest insider language can take a significant amount of time.

As Christians, we have a distinct advantage. God is the one who lovingly opens up the pathway He has for us each day.

The Prophet Isaiah reminds us of this fact in Isaiah 48:17:

This is what the Lord says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.”

Let us gratefully follow God’s leading in our life today. Let us be aware of those moments when the Holy Spirit nudges us to change direction. Let’s rejoice that the God who loves us gladly points us toward the right path.
