«Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left.» Isaiah 30:21
Have you ever lost your way, not knowing where to go? It can be scary, right? But imagine if, whenever you got lost, a voice told you exactly where to go. It would be awesome! In the book of Isaiah, chapter 30, verse 21, we find a wonderful promise from God: “This is the way, walk in it.” God promises to guide us and show us the right way to go.
In life, we are often faced with crossroads and difficult decisions. We may not have a map or GPS to guide us, but we have something even better: God’s guidance through His Word. He promises to guide us and help us make the right decisions. When we are confused or uncertain about which path to take, we can open our Bibles and trust that God will show us the right way to go.
And how can we hear God’s voice? Through prayer, reading the Bible, and heeding the wise counsel of people we trust. God speaks to us in many ways, and if we are attentive, we can hear His guidance.
Take Action
Play an orienteering game with your family or friends. Use a compass or create a treasure map. As you play, remember that just as the compass or map guides you in the game, God guides you in life. He is always ready to show you the right way forward.
