“You shall walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land that you shall possess.” – Deuteronomy 5:33 (ESV)
What safer way to walk but “in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you”. You see, God’s way is perfect (Psalm 18:30). He will never lead you down the wrong path, He will always lead you the right way. Though at times the right way may seem daunting with its hardships, crosses to bear, and its losses to endure, keep going, and keep listening to God’s voice behind you whispering, "This is the way; walk in it." (Isaiah 30:21)
Walking with God is safe walking. It is walking by faith, not by sight. Faith that fearlessly follows His guiding Pillar (see Exodus 13), for you can find yourself in danger when you follow your own path and walk your own way – leaning on your own understanding, choosing what is evil rather than what is good. But when, like Caleb, you possess that different spirit to follow God wholeheartedly, and trust Him completely, He will show you which path to take.
Your prayer today need only be a simple one,
Show me the right path, O LORD; point out the road for me to follow. (Psalm 25:4)
Amen†
