RESTORATION TODAY
WEDNESDAY 15TH FEBRUARY 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: GOD'S PATHWAY OF GOODNESS.
Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths. Psalm 25: 4.
To experience the fullness of God's kindness, we must honour Him by choosing His way of submission and obedience. The Lord will never withhold His goodness from those who walk uprightly with Him.
In love and wisdom, the Father has specifically designed a pathway for each of His children. Because no two people are alike, each path will look different. What may be best for one person may not be good for another. Comparison of God's ways in different lives will lead only to discouragement and misjudgment. We have neither the wisdom nor the eternal perspective to understand why the Lord leads some people down a road of pain and hardship, but we can know that He is always good.
Every step on God's pathway represents a deliberate choice to follow Him. By looking around instead of fixing our eyes on Jesus, we may start thinking that we are missing out on some really good experiences or possessions. If we leave the Lord's course to follow one that looks better, we will forfeit His good blessings and discover, as Adam and Eve did, that any other way leads to loss.
To build our own course and ignore the goodness and abundance of His pathway is foolishness. God alone knows the way we should take.
ACTION POINTS
Take time periodically to ask yourself, Am I on the path the Lord has chosen for me, or have I taken a detour to follow another direction that looks good?
SCRIPTURE:
Psalm 139.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, thank You for the path that You have chosen for me.
2. Lord, if I have drifted from the path that you have chosen for me, bring me back in the name of Jesus
3. Lord, keep me on the path that You have chosen for me that I may enjoy Your goodness the name of Jesus.
DAILY BIBLE READING:
Exodus 5: 1 - 6: 12
Psalm 35 & 36
Acts 2: 1 - 21.
