Isaiah 35:8

"A highway shall be there, and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it. It shall belong to those who walk on the way;even if they are fools, they shall not go astray."- Isaiah 35:8

How many times have we or others around us put our foot in our mouth by being a part of ungodliness? If we all would realize that our actions and words not only disobey our Creator who loves us with an unfathomable LOVE, but it brings ourselves down and also effects everyone around us. Too many times our focus is too on SELF that we forget that.

My devotional today used that verse and said... "We can be so involved in our sin that we are completely disoriented to God, ill-equipped to direct others to HIM." (let that sink in a minute as I had to... what we are doing and how we are acting or what we are being apart of is directing others AWAY from HIM instead of Drawing them to HIM!--- that ought not be!) It went on to say... "If our lives are filled with hypocrisy, we may turn people away from God, rather than helping them come to HIM." (WOW- scary huh? We are so held accountable for our lives.) "If our lives are filled with doubt or anger, we will impede others from coming to Christ. Our lives ought to be a highway of holiness, providing easy access to God for anyone around us who seeks HIM. Ask God to remove any obstacle in your life that hinders others from coming to know Jesus."

Are we being that Highway that others can find their way to Jesus on???
