Hello Everyone,
As we look to Jesus on our journey of experiencing God in our daily lives, one thing for us to keep in mind is Jesus is our Way."’I am the way, the truth, and the life!’ Jesus answered. ’Without me, no one can go to the Father.’ " - John 14:6 (CEV)There is a big difference between receiving directions and traveling with someone who knows.
The Lord doesn’t just give us directions for how to live and then leave us alone to figure out how to follow them; He is with us for the journey to guide us along the way!Most of us want the whole picture instead of saying: "Lord, tell me what to do one step at a time and I will do it as I follow you." The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. - Genesis 12:1 (NIV)When Abram started, he did not know his final destination, but God got him there anyway.
He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Haran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there. Genesis 12:5.
Abram focused on walking with God and the Lord led him one step at a time.
Every time we get outside of God’s will for our lives it is because our primary concern is no longer on walking with God, but on things related to this world.The early church saw Jesus as their way to experience God.
That is why they were called "followers of the Way" - Acts 9:2 (NLT).
If we are going to experience God the way the early church did in the book of Acts, then we, too, must look to Jesus as the way.
We must look to Jesus if we are going to know and do God’s will and experience God in the fullest sense of what He desires for us!
Oh How HE Loves Us!
