Isaiah 35:8
“And a highway will be there, a roadway, and it will be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean will not travel on it, but it will be for him who walks that way, and fools will not wander on it.” NASB
I walked a highway before I met God, but it sure wasn’t called the Highway of Holiness. It almost took my life; it did take big chunks of it that I have yet to get back, and I’m beginning to really think I should have left that roadway sooner than I did.
Jeremiah 9:2
“O that I had in the desert a wayfarers’ lodging place; that I may leave my people, and go from them! For all of them are adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.” NASB
How many times have you wanted to just pack up and run?
Jeremiah 14:8
“Thou Hope of Israel, its Savior in time of distress, why art Thou like a stranger in the land or like a traveler who has pitched his tent for the night?” NASB
We are all just wayfarers and some of us realize we are lost before others realize it, but those of us who see it first are no more special than those who find it later–the Way.
John 14:6
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.’ ” NASB
I think that will always be my biggest enigma–why me?
Luke 7:14
“For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it.” NASB
Why me?
