📖 “I’ll go ahead of you, clearing and paving the road. I’ll break down bronze city gates, smash padlocks, kick down barred entrances. I’ll lead you to buried treasures, secret caches of valuables— Confirmations that it is, in fact, I, God, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name. -Isaiah 45:2-3 The Message Bible
As we enter the new year, we can enter it knowing that God is going ahead of us, clearing, and paving the road that we are supposed to be on. When we stay on His road, the road will be cleared and paved for us. When we choose to go another way instead, we must clear the path and pave the road. God’s desire is that we take the road that He makes for us. As we stay on His road, there will be blessings that will come our way. We expect our lives to get better because God will use that to confirm that we are on the right path. Sometimes when we are embarking on what God has called us to do, there may obstacles and challenges along the way, but we can be sure that God will fight our battles. God will confirm that we belong to Him and that we are exactly where He wants us to be. Obeying God doesn’t cost, it pays.
