- Have you ever doubted where God is leading you?
- Has the path you are on made you question or wonder?
- In the book of Exodus, when God leads the children of Israel out of Egypt, it says He "did not lead them along the main road."
- Even though it was the shortest route...
- Even though it was the most obvious route...
- Even though it seemed the simplest - It wasn't God's best!
- In Isaiah 55:8&9 God says, “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the LORD. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine."
- The road you are on may seem roundabout.
- The path you are taking may seem difficult and long...
- It may even look like you are headed to disaster, but just stay close to The Lord.
- Follow His leading.
- Rely on Him and trust in Him.
- Continually seek Him through His Word and prayer.
- His ways are far beyond anything you could imagine!
- He knew what was best for His children as they escaped Egypt and He knows what's best for you now.
- God knew that the short route, for the Israelites, would lead them to a battle with the Philistines that they were not prepared to Fight.
- He knew they would give up, change their minds and return to Egypt and bondage.
- If they had gone their way, they would never have seen the miracle that God was about to do.
- They would never have witnessed the amazing rescue that still stands out to this very day and points to the Mighty Power of The Lord!
- They would never have experienced His freedom.
- His way is Best!
- Trust in Him and His wisdom.
- Believe in Him and His ability.
- Exodus 15:13 says, “With your unfailing love you lead the people you have redeemed. In your might, you guide them to your sacred home."
- He is leading you today with His unfailing Love!
- Have a great Weekend!
