Follow God’s Path
The path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. Proverbs 4:18 Scripture reading:
Proverbs 4:5–18
Jacob was on his way to the land of his fathers, but he was very troubled at the thought of meeting his brother Esau.
Esau’s hating Jacob and saying in his heart, “When my father is dead, then will I slay my brother Jacob.” (See Genesis 27:41.) Our own plans frequently lead us into disaster.
Jacob had to flee from the land, but how good the Lord was to the fugitive. He gave him a vision of a ladder and angels ascending and descending it (Gen. 28:12). How gracious is our God!
Many things may happen in our lives to show us how depraved we are by nature, but when the veil is lifted, we see how merciful and tender God is. His tender compassion is over us all the time.
He knew that no one could deliver him but God. And there alone, lean in soul and impoverished in spirit, he met with God. Oh, how we need to get alone with God, to be broken, to be changed, to be transformed! And when we do meet with Him, He interposes, and all care and strife are brought to an end. Amen
