The book of Proverbs challenges us to realize that "the way of the unfaithful is hard" (Prov. 13:15), and, "Fools mock at sin" (Prov. 14:9). When we become flippant concerning immoral and shady conduct, we march down a broad path that winds up in hell. The "pleasures of sin" are just not worth it!
To walk in the way of sinners is a sad choice of life-style (Psa. 1:1). Satan has arranged a losing game called progressive shame. Little by little, we become more and more enamored with ungodliness and finally wind up in the garbage dump of evil. The path of least resistance comes straight from the devil's tool box! Jude writes, "Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain" (Jude 1:11).
The highway of holiness, referred to in Isa. 35, is a picture of the salvation we rejoice in today in New Testament Christianity. No one walks there accidentally. We definitely choose to walk "the way of the cross" that brings redemption, joy and peace (Rom. 14:17). If we follow the Lamb wherever He goes (Rev. 14:4), we will wind up on a golden street beyond this veil of tears. Enoch walked with God (Gen. 5:22), and God took him to be at home in glory. May we so walk!
"Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in" (Psa. 24:7). Jesus has gone to prepare us a place. May we ever proceed on the path that leads us there.
Have a great week!
