Isaiah 48:17-18 ESV
Thus says the Lord,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
who teaches you to profit,
who leads you in the way you should go.
Oh that you had paid attention to my commandments!
Then your peace would have been like a river,
and your righteousness like the waves of the sea;
Isaiah 48:22
“There is no peace,” says the Lord, “for the wicked.”
The Lord alone teaches us and leads us in the way we should go, the way of peace.
The riches of the earth pale in comparison to the riches in heaven. His commandments lead to life and His word is given that we might hear it if we pay attention. It seems an easy enough request, but then we encounter so many distractions and we find it easy to put the word aside. This is human nature.
We have been given the mind of Christ, the Holy Spirit. The living water flows from within, as we are sealed with the Spirit. Our conscience bears witness to this reality, for we have been raised with Christ alive and conscious into the kingdom of heaven.
The way of peace is before us.
