The way that seems right does not always have life in its end but death. Avoiding a way that seems right is engaging the way of God. There is nothing to lose anytime we engage God in prayer for direction before taking to steps of life. In life, every decision demands a direction that should lead to successful ending. The only possible way of getting to a successful ending is inside of God\u2019s direction. It was clear that God called Moses to lead the Israelites out of the bondage of over four hundred years to the Promised Land but it was not liberty for Moses to take to his own way. On the way, one should not just take any way because not all ways will lead one somewhere.<br \/>\nDespite God\u2019s calling of Moses as the shepherd, he could not make a move without asking God for His way. He did not assume any way as being the right way. Moses always asked God for direction. The book of <b><i>Exodus 33:13 <\/i><\/b>documented<i>,<b> \u201cNow therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.\u201d<\/b><\/i> With Moses\u2019 requisite, it is evident that in the way of God there is the ability to know God. The way of God is encased the grace of God. The way of God is the way of going up from where you are now but not going down. In the way of God there is an unfailing promise to be delivered. The way of God is the way out of bondage. The way of God delivers victory at all avenues of life. In the way of God, everything \u00a0\u00a0it takes not to be replaced by the enemy is in place. The only condition is to ask and know how to endure the challenges of the giants along the way. The failure to ask or to hear as directed is the avenue to self-destruction. God responded to Moses\u2019 request for direction in <b><i>Exodus 33:14, \u201cAnd He said, \u2018My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.\u2019\u201d <\/i><\/b>The Word of God is God and His word is His presence. When you engage His word, His word will have a place in you. You will be in the right place as you engage your journey. Take to the word of God for direction<b> <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Prayer for today:<\/b> <i>Ask God for the grace to know and constantly turn to Him for direction; ask God to deliver you from taking any way that seems right to you.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faith Capsule: Along the way, one should not just take any way because not all ways will \u00a0lead one somewhere.
