"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". - Isaiah 30:21
We are in a season whereby God is doing something new in our lives. For many of us we are transitioning from one place to another, from one career to another, from one ministry to another or God may be calling us to start our own business or ministry. It’s new and we have not walked this way before. The great unknown, which can bring anxiety or even fear. One thing we need to take comfort in, though we may be afraid, is that if God has spoken, we must know we can trust Him.
It is important for us not to allow fear or anxiety to cause us to move ahead of God or not to move at all. It is important that we continue to seek the face of God for instructions on the direction we should go. Many times, when God speaks, He never give us the complete instruction or show us the full picture. As we obey, then He gives us the instructions for the next step.
One of the things that always impress me with the life of David, is the fact that he inquired of the Lord. David faced many battles, but each time, he will enquire of the Lord. Sometimes, we are tempted to do something a certain way because we faced the same situation in the past. For every decision we are to make we should seek the counsel of the Lord. And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the Lord said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron, 2 Samuel 2:1.
It is imperative to hear and obey the voice of the Lord. We are not to do things because we saw our family or friends do things a certain way. We must seek the face of God for the next step. In Genesis, Abraham at one time in his life faced a famine and went down to Egypt. Isaac also faced a famine, His plan was to go to Egypt, but God told him to go elsewhere. And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; Genesis 26:1-3a.
Our scripture reference says, 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. When we seek the Lord, we will hear His voice for He will speak. I encourage you to obey the voice of the Lord. He will not fail you but will lead you in the way that you should go.
