RIGHT WAY< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
Jan. 02-08
In every new beginning, there is always a need for new resolution, new or revived focus, new direction or an updated direction with a set accountability. All of the above sounds good and purposeful but the bottom line of it all is that if God is not in your all it will be like driving in the dark with no headlights on. When there is driving in the dark with no headlights on, there will be a great possibility of ending up in a way that seems right or in a wrong way. The way that seems right or the wrong way does not go far, but only leads to death or permanent termination. The Word of God is true when it says, ÒThere is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.Ó (Proverbs 14:12) In your new beginning, have you considered seeking the way of God? That means are you willing to let God have His way in your life rather than having your way for your life? If you will seek, you will find out that those who have allowed God to have His way do not have anything to regret but they only rather testify to His glory. King David testified, 2 Samuel 22:31, ÒAs for God, His way is perfect; he is a shield to all who trust in Him.Ó Does that sound convincing enough to begin to think of letting Him have His way in our life as we enter into a new beginning or new season in this wicked world? In the LordÕs way, there is neither situation nor circumstance that causes us to sink or get lost because He is the Way that knows what every way will become for His children. The way of God has no barrier or limitation; it cannot be altered neither can it be denied. Nahum 1:3, ÒÉthe LORD has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.Ó Can you think of anything or situation that can prevail against your life if you decide to go in the LordÕs way? Absolutely and definitely no situation or challenge will prevail against anyone that takes to the way of God. Getting in the LordÕs way is not of determination but by grace. Are you sure the way you are taking is rather of the Lord or is it not? There is nothing prayer cannot do and that is why the Psalmist prayed this prayer, ÒTeach me Your way, O LORD And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.Ó(Psalm 27:11) Indeed it is wise to lift up our voice and ask God to help just like the Psalmist did because enemies are positioned everywhere and your challenges of a new season or new beginning will not be less compared to the previous season. The grace to prevail, however, is always in place if you will ask God to teach you how to enter into His way. No way will then be tough enough for you not to prevail. Ask Him and it shall be given just as He promised because He is a faithful God.
