Knowing God - He Goes Before Us


                                                     Isaiah 45a             
“I will go before you and make the crooked places straight:”


So much of who the Lord reveals Himself to be involves His involvement with us.  How wonderful that our God is a God who doesn't just sit on a throne disconnected with His creation!  He is a loving Father, Shepherd and King, who concerns Himself with the paths of those He has created.  Here we see that God, Himself, goes before us on our paths, straightening out ways that are crooked before we even walk them.  Our Lord desires to be a God who, not only is with us on our roads, but goes before us to give us a great sense of being cared for and looked after.  He is in this day and its events before we even get there.  If you and I face something difficult today, remember that the Lord has gone before us and He has influenced the twists and turns our lives make.  He will guide us because He has traveled our roads before us.
