Our Biblical GPSMuestra

Very few people in Scripture saw God as Isaiah had envisioned him. The prophet described him as “high and lifted up,” and that encounter with the holy God changed his life. Isaiah was called to preach to God’s people and help others know God as he knew him. The prophet knew that God would judge the Jewish people for failing to live as they had been commanded. But, the prophet also knew that God would provide a road of redemption that would lead the people out of the desert and back to his land of blessing. Isaiah 35 describes that road and who will take it. Isaiah wrote about the path the exiles would use to return, but he also prophesied about the path God would provide one day through the Messiah.

This concludes the study, but not the journey. Each of us has the personal responsibility to walk on the way of holiness. That road brings us to those gates of pearl and into the Eternal City. Jesus will return for each of us one day. Until then, our calling is to walk through this life with his guidance, for his glory.

As you reflect on the study, how has his word impacted your journey? What roads have you left to walk on his way of holiness? Who have you helped find that road for the first time? The caution for each of us who study God’s word is the caution James gave in his letter to the church. James wrote: “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says” (James 1:22). May each of us choose the best road home.
