Isaiah 2:5 O house of Jacob, come and let us walk in the light of the Lord.

Have you tried to walk through a forest in the dead of night without a bright moon to guide you? It is difficult walking in the dark and especially so when you do not know the path you walk along.

Things are so much easier if we have a torch to light our way or a light to aim for in the distance, but still things can be tricky.

The more we listen to Christ and His Word the more we are able to know the path we are walking and the easier things will be.

Get to know Christ more and more each day so your path will be light up and clear to walk. That is how He wants it to be!

Jeremiah 6:16 Thus says the Lord: “Stand in the ways and see, And ask for the old paths, where the good way is, And walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’

What is the general reaction from people when you try to tell them about God? Do you get ridiculed or told that you are wasting your time? I do, but it does not stop me!

Jeremiah was crying out to the people who should have known better through their own history; but he got much the same reaction.

Don’t be disillusioned by the people who reject God and want to walk their own paths all the time. They are following what they think is best because they do not know what is best.

Be strong and listen to God.

Matthew 11:29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Jesus does not want us to be burdened with all the horrible things in this world but would rather we carry the load He wishes us to carry.

If you were given the choice to either carry the shopping bag full of sugar, juice and other heavy things or the shopping bag full of crisps and other light things, which would you carry?

They both may have things we like in them, but the sugar bag is going to be very heavy compared to the crisps bag!

Jesus wants us to carry the good things, but also to make our way easier. We do need to listen to Him to find that way!

Genesis 42:6 Now Joseph was governor over the land; and it was he who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brothers came and bowed down before him with their faces to the earth.

When God says something is going to happen, you had better take notice because it is going to happen!

God had given Joseph the dream that all his brothers would bow down to him and this is when it happened. The brothers did not yet know this was Joseph, but they would have remembered God’s words when they did realise!

We may not see God’s hand in things in our lives, especially when we do not like what is happening; but when we do realise we can praise God even more to know His promises stand forever!

Lift up your praise to God even before you realise His hand is already in it.
