"There will be a highway called the Holy Road...It is for God's people exclusively - impossible to get lost on this road. Not even fools can get lost on it." Isaiah 35:8 (The Message)
I read this today in my morning devotions. The chapter is about the return of the redeemed to the land God has promised them. It's a chapter full of joy and images of a desert springing to life with new growth. And at the end it talks about a highway. The "Way of Holiness," the Way to the Lord. There is no uncleanness or wickedness on this road; no wild animals to maul its travelers. Only "the redeemed shall walk there" (vs. 9). And, perhaps most importantly to me, it's impossible to lose your way on this road. Even if you are acting a fool, you will not lose your way.
Oh, what a blessing! What a joy to be given this road to find God! And what a peace to find that you cannot lose your way, even though you are a fool. Everlasting hope and joy are ours on this Holy Highway, and those are things which cannot be taken away by circumstances. They are ours to claim because God has redeemed us. What glorious truth, what strength to my soul!
