| “I have kept to his way without turning aside.” |
| —Job 23:11b |
When a person walks through a dense forest, one way of not becoming lost is to stay on the path. As long as the person does not wander into the deep woods on either side of the path, he or she will eventually find the way to his or her ultimate destination.
So it is with us “Christ’s-ones.” If we stay on the pathway that God opens up before us in our lives, we will arrive at the place where God wants us to be.
The Patriarch Job made this declaration in Job 23:10-11:
But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning aside.
God knows our way when He tests us. And, if our feet follow closely the footsteps He has left for us—if we stay on His pathway—we will arrive at the very place He wants us to be.
In the light of this new day, let’s allow the Holy Spirit to guide us, as we follow in the footsteps of Jesus. And, as we meet others along the way, let’s become instruments of God’s mercy, grace, and love in their lives.
