Isaiah 30:21, “And when you turn to the right or when you
turn to the left, your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the
way; walk in it.’”
I think I had become so used to scripture that encourages
believers to follow that it took me along time to realize—internalize that this
verse says “behind”.
Sight unseen.
Or at least, not a clear view up ahead. Or even a glimpse
out of the corner of my eye.
Behind—to hear, to act upon tasks given, to obey in faith.
Where the questions begin, “Is this really You, Lord?” “How
can I be sure.” “Could I have some assurance?” “Why?” “Please, may I turn around and look and see and touch
and taste?”
Creation obeys.
Instinctively—instantly—intently.
Because all know your voice clearly. Because Your word is
imbedded into the fabric of all. Like a heartbeat flowing steadily.
Lord, please so saturate me/us in Your words and Your voice
that I/we will resist You from fear or confusion, but instead embrace the gift
of hearing Your guidance.
Psalm of Worship: Psalm 25:9-10
“He leads the humble to justice, and He teaches the humble
His way.
All the paths of the Lord are lovingkindness and truth
To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.”
