*Above Only Devotional*
SAT, NOV 24
*Have Confidence in God's Ways*
_Isaiah 55:7-9 (GNB), Proverbs 10:29 (NKJV)_
_Let the wicked leave their way of life and change their way of thinking. Let them turn to the LORD, our God; he is merciful and quick to forgive. "My thoughts," says the LORD, "are not like yours, and my ways are different from yours. As high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are my ways and thoughts above yours. *The way of the Lord is strength for the upright, but destruction will come to the workers of iniquity._

Because it is the life of God that is in you, you can only operate successfully if you follow God's ways. Following God's ways is your only guarantee of generating good success, Josh.1:8. The world is getting more and more corrupt and even believers are becoming deceived every day. Beloved, please do not allow the people of the world to deceive you and cause you to come down to their level to compromise and walk in their evil ways. If sinners entice you, don't give in to their temptation, Prov.1:10. You cannot be blessed if you walk in the counsel of the ungodly, stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of the scornful. It is only by loving, meditating on and following God's ways that you will supernaturally prosper and flourish in all that you do, Psa.1:1-3.
Follow the ways of Jesus. Allow His Spirit in you to lead and guide you. Flee from what will not glorify Jesus. Jesus said, whoever follows Him will not walk in darkness but will have the light that leads to life, John 8:12 (NLT). Don't walk in darkness. You will trip over and fall. Walk in the light. Sometimes following God's ways may seem slower and foolish, but it leads to life, joy and peace. God's ways are higher and they lead to greater things. The end will always be more than we could have ever asked or imagined, Eph.3:20. What God has in store for you far exceeds that which men have seen, heard or ever imagined, 1Cor.2:9. Keep walking in His ways and truth. You will not be disappointed. Keep learning God's ways and remain confident in them.
PRAYER
I receive Your grace, Creator God, to keep learning Your ways and walking in them. I have confidence in Your ways, Father.
