...the Way of Holiness...

hello friends!
treasures from Isaiah 35...
Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, do not fear, your God will come, He will come with vengeance; with divine retribution He will come to save you."
Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert. The burning sand will become a pool, the thirsty ground bubbling springs. In the haunts where jackals once lay, grass and reeds and papyrus will grow. And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness.
The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it.
No lion will be there, nor will any ferocious beast get up on it; they will not be found there, and the ransomed of the Lord will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

We are all walking a path, paths that we choose. Dorothy followed the yellow brick road. I want to walk on the Way of Holiness. What does that look like? That's a question i often ask myself and I challenge you to do the same. Probing, questioning, pondering, seeking...the unshakable Kingdom, the Way of Holiness, the radical Cross. Each morning we choose to walk on the path of righteousness or destruction. Will others watch our lives and choose the same path we walk? While the path that leads to destruction seems easy and quite inviting, the Way of Holiness is steep and narrow yet truly beautiful. It is full of healing and redemption and joy and hope and singing! Walk it and invite others to taste and see...
