When God says...
“There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.”(Proverbs 16:25 NKJV)
He reminds us of our limitation. It is gravely dangerous when we do whatever we feel good and think we can do without consulting God through His holy and written Word. What we see as right way in our eyes at the start, could lead to the wrong destination that we could not see. This passage warns of a deadly end.
But, God sees what's ahead. Declaring the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10a), He is Omniscient. We are not. We operate in the natural. His ways are supernatural. It is written, God says: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8, 9 ESV)
We are to depend and trust in Him, by surrendering to the Lordship of Christ Jesus in a personal relationship. Not religion of dos and don’ts. Not of rituals and traditions. Rather, we do what we must do, as the Lord: "Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”" (John 6:29 NIV)
And, He further assures: “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.” (John 14:1 NLT)
And I say, AMEN!

(When God says... I say, AMEN! is a provocative reflection of the Lord's holy Word. It intends to challenge every seeker of truth to dig deep into the core of the Word of Life to point every being to Christ Jesus - the author and finisher of our faith, and to draw revelations for change, for nourishment and for strength of every soul.)
