Isaiah 25:7-8 But for those who are righteous, the way is not steep and rough. You are a God who does what is right, and you smooth out the path ahead of them….
Isn’t it wonderful to know Jesus has not only given us His righteousness but He gives us rewards as well. Two of those rewards are mentioned in our verse so what do they mean in our everyday lives?
They don’t mean we’ll never have any troubles in life, but when we’re walking close to the Lord and obeying Him, He’s promised that what would be steep and rough paths to others, will be easier for us, because He’s removing the obstacles and providing for us before we even get there. He is there with us, supporting and helping us. You can probably remember times when that has happened.😊
All God’s promises are for our benefit but we know we have to believe they’re for us personally and take them by faith or nothing happens. We may not realise it but we can cancel out a promise when we speak negative words like “Oh life is so tough. I can’t cope. Life is such a struggle!”
Instead we can turn it around and agree with God’s words and say “I’m trusting His word that it wont be too hard or too tough for me to deal with because His grace is enough for each day. He’s promised to hold me up and help me and smooth things out.”
God says Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). In other words what we speak over our own lives and the lives of others, will help shape what follows, which means we really need to be speaking life giving words!
So I thought it would be good to begin our new week with some of those life giving words, to join our shields of faith together and declare:
“Our path this week will be easier than we think. We know God is going ahead of us, smoothing things out for us before we even get there. Whatever comes we wont just survive but we will thrive and flourish in Jesus’ Name because He has made us Overcomers. It’s going to be a good week because God is for us, He loves us and He will make a way even when it looks like there isn’t one. Thank You Lord. Amen.
Have a greatly blessed week.😊
