TOPIC: FOLLOW NOT THEIR WAYS
TEXT:Isaiah 8:11-12
[11]For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
[12]Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
For every human, we always gets to a point in life where we need to take a decision and follow suit, most times, our decisions are based on the things that surrounds us. There's a common saying; "the voice of people is the voice of God." This statement is logically correct because people believe that the majority has the advantage of numbers but it is spiritually wrong because God himself is a majority and His voice carries His desire and not people's selfish desires.
God understanding this, gave Isaiah this strong instruction not to walk in the path of the people, God also told him not to call for conspiracy when people are calling for it. God was saying, even when you think it's generally acceptable and logically right, still don't follow in the ways of these people, don't subject your reasoning to the theories and principles of the people, because they cannot be stable.
Not everything acceptable to people is acceptable before God, because the majority are doing it does not justify it, it doesn't matter if logic supported it, what matters is what is God's position. The Holy Spirit is telling us this day that we should never walk in the ways of the world, we should understand in clear principle that as a child of God, we have got a standard that is not worldly but heavenly. God's voice is way different from the voice of the world.
THINK TANK: Always gets God's opinion on every decisions of life.
PRAYER: Father, give me the grace not to walk in the ways of the world, help me to hear and understand your voice in Jesus Name.
