A wise man once said that "The ways of God are the High-ways of life". What a clever way of stating the truth I said to myself. For when you follow after Him in His ways, He causes you to walk and ride on the high places of the earth.
When you sheepishly, stupidly (in the eye of the world) and delightsomely submit to His ways and leadings in the journey of life, He literally takes you up and mount you as it were on eagles wings, set for a flight of Glory.
"Show me now Your way...", this was the cry from the heart of Moses, it was his heart-felt longing and desire. This heart-felt cry secured heavens attention, and they (the children of Israel) experienced the glorious presence of the LORD, which set-apart and separated (dignified) the people of God from all the people on the earth.
"Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You... And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”"- Exodus 33:13 & 14
Scripture tells us that God showed and revealed His ways to Moses, and His ways were the high-ways of passage out of slavery in the hands of the Egyptians into freedom that the LORD charted for His people.
"He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel."- Psalm 103:7
The good, exciting and wonderful news is- God has promised and committed Himself to teaching us His way, that we may not have to walk about as wanderers without purpose and direction in this world. But rather we embark on this great Christian adventure as a people and pilgrims with a sense of direction heading for that city whose builder is the LORD.
"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye."- Psalm 32:8
As we submit our lives daily to His ways, guidance and leadings as revealed to us from His Word and by His Spirit, we shall experience direction and victory in our deeds and undertakings. For in our obedience to Him, His Word & His Spirit following His ways, we encounter His supernatural supplies, provisions, leadings, acts and deeds in every step that we take.
If we will obey His voice and keep His Word, we shall be set for a flight of Glory on eagles wings. A flight much more colourful and glorious than the flight that the children of Israel boarded out of captivity in Egypt into liberty in Canaan under the old covenant.
"You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine."- Exodus 19:4 & 5
All scriptures are taken from New King James Version
Yes. We will go higher and bear much fruit as we follow His word and desire more of Him.
