Deuteronomy 11-12, Luke 8:22-39, Psalms 70:1-5, Proverbs 12:4
What God said to me – Have you ever gone somewhere with someone and they didn’t use a map or GPS because they “knew” where they were going, but you got lost on the way? I warned Israel not to do what they were doing if they wanted to get to the place of rest and inheritance I was giving them. What was it they were doing that was leading them astray? Every man was doing what was right in his own eyes. The problem was that everyone had their own idea of what was right – they all thought they knew where to go without a “map or GPS”, so they were lost. Today’s society is like that – we’re told to follow our “heart” or to live our “truth”. What you don’t understand is that your heart is desperately deceitful and sick, so if you follow it, you will be lost and off track. I alone can change a heart. I alone can lead you in the paths of righteousness. You must learn to follow Me step by step if you want to get to that place of peace and rest. “I AM” the way, the truth, and the life.
