| Reform Your Ways |
|
| ¡°I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me¡± ( John 14:6 , NIV ) |
|
Have you ever lost your way? Once in Brazil I was leading a group on a mountain hike. We ended up far from our lodge because I thought the trail went in a circle. Not so! The only solution was to retrace our steps.
A spirit of accommodation has taken over. It says, ¡°We¡¯re all on the same trail, going to the same place.¡± In other words, ¡°We all mean well; our beliefs and actions may differ but the Lord is a loving God. He wouldn¡¯t hold us accountable.¡±
Time after time in the Bible we read statements to the contrary. ¡°If you really change your ways and your actions and deal with each other justly... and if you do not follow other gods to your own harm, then I will let you live in this place.¡±
The Lord commands, ¡°Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.¡± He always speaks of His Truth as one way. Jesus declared, ¡°I am the way, the truth and the life.¡±(John 14:6)
Do you want to walk securely through life? Then walk in the one way blazed by our Lord. |

Lord, help us to truly seek our Savior¡¯s one way, to walk in it and to kindly, but firmly urge others to walk the walk with us. In Jesus¡¯ name. Amen. - GLOVER SHIPP, Edmond, Oklahoma |
