To Walk In His Way, January 22
The way of the Lord is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to
the workers of iniquity.
Proverbs 10:29
.
If from the beginning we had walked in the counsel of God, thousands more
would have been converted to the present truth. But many have made crooked
paths for their feet. My brethren, make straight paths, lest the lame be turned out
of the way. Let no one follow a crooked path that some one else has made, for
thus you would not only go astray yourself, but would make this crooked path
plainer for some one else to follow. Determine that as for yourself, you will walk
in the path of obedience. Know for a certainty that you are standing under the
broad shield of Omnipotence. Realize that the characteristics of Jehovah must be
revealed in your life, and that in you a work must be accomplished that will mold
your character after the divine similitude. Yield yourself to the guidance of Him
who is the Head over all.
We are doing our work for the judgment. Let us be learners of Jesus. We need
His guidance every moment. At every step we should inquire, “Is this the way
of the Lord?” not, “Is this the way of the man who is over me?” We are to be
concerned only as to whether we are walking in the way of the Lord.
God will honor and uphold every true-hearted, earnest soul who is seeking
to walk before Him in the perfection of Christ’s grace. He will never leave nor
forsake one humble, trembling soul. Shall we believe that He will work in our
hearts? that if we allow Him to do so, He will make us pure and holy, by His rich
grace qualifying us to be laborers together with Him? Can we with keen, sanctified
perception appreciate the strength of His promises, and appropriate them, not
because we are worthy, but because by living faith we claim the righteousness of
Christ?
There is nothing so great and powerful as God’s love for those who are His
children.
