The Ways of the Lord are made for walking! The righteous will walk in them. [Hosea 14:9]
The ways of the Lord are made for singing! The humble will sing and truly proclaim the glory of the Lord and God will dwell in those praises; to those who remain proud of heart God will remain far away. [Psalm 138:4-6]
Psalm 25:10-15 declares that “the Ways of the LORD are loving and faithful for those who keep the demands of his covenant. For the sake of your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great. Who, then, is the man that fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him. He will spend his days in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land. The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare.” [NIV]
The Ways of the Lord are made for watching!
God reminds us that His ways are loving and faithful to those who remain watchful of them. God does His part. God instructs us in the way chosen for us. God confides in those of us who fear Him. God makes His covenant known to us. God releases our feet from the snare of the enemy.
For those who keep their eyes upon Him, for those who respect and fear Him, for those who repent when they find they have sinned, He is “faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” [1 John 1:9 NIV]
Our part is to keep the demands of His ways, and to seek forgiveness when we fail. Our part is to keep our eyes ever on the Lord.
The Ways of the Lord are made for watching!
