March 12 – A NEW WAY

 If you are willing to be mine, and give your life to me obediently, all the very best of life will be given to you. (Isaiah 1:19)

               Is it time for you to change something? Do you hesitate? To pursue the new, you often must release the things of the present. Most of the time, change is a very hard thing to do. Your current process, your current location, and the people you have become accustomed to are but a few of the pieces of your life that can be woven into a security blanket of relative certainty in an otherwise very uncertain world. It is the way that you know. But, God may be calling you to a new and different way. He will often lead you to change something. God doesn’t want you to rely on anything or anyone but Himself for your security.

                Remember, Jesus said, “I am the way.” (John 14:6), and Isaiah relays that same message from God. “Follow my way, giving yourself and your will – all of your life – to me. Obey me, because I want the best for you.” This is a huge promise, presented in the simplest of terms. If you will decide to let the Lord determine your way – that means places, people, activities, and circumstances – then, His way will lead you to His very best.

                Giving up control of your life is a big deal. It is hard. But, God promises – it is worth it!
