ISAIAH 35:8

And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness; it will be for those who walk on that Way.

The unclean will not journey on it; wicked fools will not go about on it.

TO PONDER

The highway is the quick, fast route. We experience this in Newcastle. The councils are constantly putting in ring roads and bypasses. These roads allow the heavy traffic in the mornings and evenings when everyone's trying to get to a similar place, to avoid suburban streets and hopefully arrive quicker, without so many stops and speed limits. Where possible, you should try and travel on a highway, you will get there faster (so the theory goes). It is true that highways are without stoplights and T-junctions. The traffic flows freely and quickly. 

Jesus said He is the Way the Truth and the Life. If we walk Jesus Way it is the highway of holiness. It is free of speed bumps and give way signs. But how do we walk that way? Only with the help of Jesus, it’s His road and He has travelled it without an incident. He guides us back onto it, when we take an early exit and He will lead us to our destination of holiness.

PRAYER

Jesus, thank you that you have travelled the highway of holiness before me and you travel it with me today. I am sorry for the times when I have veered off your road for my life. Thank you that you are always there to put me back. Help me to stay on the road today. Amen.
