JESUS' WAY OR WRONG WAY!

Exodus 13:17 and 18 When Pharoah let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, "If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt." So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea. The Israelites went up out of Egypt armed for battle.

God doesn't always lead us the way we think we should be going but His way is always the best way. Any other way is always the wrong way!

The shortest and easiest way is not always the best way for us; the route that others may take is not always the route we should take too!

God knows us far better than we know ourselves; He knows how we will handle adversity, crises and conflict. He always knows what we are ready to handle and what we are not!

Outwardly we may look and act like we are far more ready for battle than we really are. We may even believe ourselves that we are ready to take on anyone and anything. But God alone knows just how ready we really are.

The safest place we can be is always in the center of God's will no matter where He is leading us, what others think about us, no matter how wrong, illogical, unexpected or unconventional it seems. NOTE: God will never lead us contrary to His Word!

We are far better off with God in the desert than ANYWHERE ELSE WITHOUT HIM!

As I remember someone saying the Will of God will never lead you where the grace of God can't keep you.
