Jesus is the Way

Day by day, choose God's path.

This advice sounds wise, noble, and well-intentioned.

Yet when we operate as though our choices are greater than His plans, or that His plans require our understanding to work out, then we are treating God and His grace too small.

We cannot forget:

"8For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD." (Isaiah 55: 8)

His thoughts are not our thoughts -- because His thoughts exceed all that we can ask or think:

"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us," (Ephesians 3: 20)

Now, we rest in the truth that Jesus is Him who has been from the beginning (John 1: 1; 1 John 2: 14)

He also holds all our times in His hands:

"My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me." (Psalm 31: 15)

He is above all time and times, and He has also overcome the world:

"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." (John 16: 33)

then

"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." (1 John 4: 4)

Followed by

"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith." (1 John 5:4)

So, we recognize that He has overcome everything we can then recognize that we are not striving to choose the path, but rather we recognize that He is our Way, as well as the Truth and Life which sustains all things (John 14: 6; Colossians 1: 17)
