And your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever
you turn to the right or to the left. Isaiah 30:21, NASB
The Lord has given each of us crystal-clear directions on how to live. I call them
the “rules of the road."

Do justly. This means being honest, honorable and conscientious toward others,
ourselves and toward God. Paul followed this direction stringently, saying of
himself, “And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of
offence toward God, and toward men” (Acts 24:16).
Love mercy. Mercy is underserved forgiveness. Most of us would testify that we
„love‟ mercy when it is shown to us. But we often fall short when it comes to
treating others with mercy (see Matthew 18:21-35).
Walk humbly with your God. This one has two parts. The first is to devote oneself
to the purpose of knowing God. The second has to do with personal discipline,
and chiefly, ridding yourself of pride.
Observance of His road signs will ensure safe passage to your destination.
Determine in your heart to follow these road signs. God has explained many
times the reward of those who do. “Wherefore it shall come to pass, if you obey
these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the Lord your God shall keep unto
you the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto your fathers”
(Deuteronomy 7:12).
Our destination is heaven. Jesus is the only way. He has given us His Word (road
signs) to follow. Adhering to His rules will ensure our safe arrival.
Deuteronomy 20; Psalms 107; Isaiah 47; Revelation 17
