God’s Sacred Highway!

Listen to this blog.

A good road will be there,
and it will be named
“God's Sacred Highway.”
It will be for God's people;
no one unfit to worship God
will walk on that road.
And no fools can travel
on that highway.

No lions or other wild animals
will come near that road;
only those the [Lord] has saved
will travel there.

The people the [Lord] has rescued
will come back singing
as they enter Zion.
Happiness will be a crown
everyone will always wear.
They will celebrate and shout
because all sorrows and worries
will be gone far away.

Isaiah 35:8-10

It is very discouraging to discover that you are on the wrong road! The trip has been going well and then one wrong turn and pretty soon you are lost, don't know where you are or really where the road you are on will take you.

If the sun is up it is sometimes easy to figure out that you are going east instead of west. But in the darkness it might take a long time before you know you are going the wrong way.

The parallel is not perfect, but in some ways the Bible is God's GPS. The Word of God can tell us where we are, which way we are going and how fast we are traveling in that direction. When I get off track in my car the GPS frequently tells me to make a u-turn and go in the opposite direction. That is what the Bible says as well.

If you are not on God's Sacred Highway and are lost, not knowing where you are or where you are going, stop, pray and open up the Bible while asking for directions! Jesus has promised that if you seek Him, you will find Him!

I especially like the part about happiness, singing and celebrating because all sorrows and worries will be gone away while traveling that road! If you are not there now, turn your heart and life over to Jesus and get on God's Sacred Highway!
