“This is what the Lord says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.” Isaiah 48:17 (NIV)
As we often reflect, we are so glad that our God has spoken to His people through prophets who could record His statements. And, we are thankful that the words they recorded have been preserved and passed on to us in a form we can read and learn. The Lord tells us in today's verse that He has our welfare in mind in all His dealings with us. He knows what is best for us. He knows also how we should live and how we should act in order to arrive at what is best for us. Not only does God know what is best for us. He is involved in showing us how to get where we need to be and to arrive at what is best for us. He is also involved in showing us how to pay attention to His leading through what He is teaching us. He promises to be our guide so let's let him lead and let's follow.
