THE WAYS OF THE LORD ARE RIGHT

 
Hosea 14:9


"Who is wise? Let them realize these things. Who is discerning? Let them understand. The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them." NIV


"Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? Prudent, and he shall know them? For the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein." KJV


As Christians, we all have struggles and we may even fall. But we have a God who loves us and walks with us and sets us back on the path when we stray. But, for those who choose to live their lives on their own, without Jesus Christ, it is a vastly different result. Without a loving God at their side, they walk alone and, without any assurance. They inwardly tremble, hoping someone will have a heart of kindness to come and help them with their problem. When the unsaved get into trouble for not following the world's laws, they are at the mercy of the world's justice system. They may pay for their wrongdoing here on earth, but they will walk the streets still unsaved and unforgiven, walking toward eternal darkness. For them, there is no hope. They are unwise, making up their own beliefs that all is well.


Heavenly Father, how can we ever thank You enough for showing us Your just and true ways so that we can put our trust in You during good times and bad. Give us the boldness to let those who are unsaved know there is a better way that gives hope, a foundation of peace, that leads to eternal life. In Jesus' name, Amen.
