Isaiah 30:21. “And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, this is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.” THE RIGHT WAY. The Lord is gracious, waiting for you to return unto Him and rest. He has waited long and patiently for you to be blessed. And He will bless you abundantly; in fact, He already has. Further, if you will acknowledge Him, He promised to direct your path.
His mercy is upon you, it has been continually there; it endures forever. Choose the right way and He will honor you, the bond of love He'll not sever. Mercy waits there though justice calls out; mercy holds justice at bay.
Return to the Holy One, rebel no longer, that is the true and right way.
God will be exalted when you trust Him completely; in wisdom He dispenses His judgment. He sees beyond the externals mortal men see. His grace will provide a fulfillment. In quietness of soul and confidence in God, you will find your needed strength. If you return to the Lord, that very action will provide the essential link.
There are certain fundamental things that are needed; the first is to hear God's Word. That becomes real to us when we set aside time to wait upon the Lord. What we will hear is, “This is the way...,” then God expects us to walk in its light. When we are listening and heeding His voice, we will know the way is right.
Some things must go if we want the right way; idols must always be cast away. Anything that takes the place of the Lord, will stumble and lead us astray. There are choices to be made that I cannot avoid, it is my responsibility to take them in hand. Consequences will arise but I must quickly act and take the results like a man.
When we return to the Lord and wait on Him there, we will find Him waiting for us. The voice that is behind us that comes from God, is that of One we can totally trust. The right way is the one He wants for each of us, but He gives us the right to choose. I will take counsel from Him and act on His direction, lest the right way I may fatally loose.
“O Gracious God; speak to Thy servant here and now I pray, lest I make some mistake and get out of the way of Thy leading. Help me to know and act on that voice from Thee. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
