These Are The Things I Will Do & I Will Not Forsake Them

I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them - Isaiah 42:16. 

               God who is the Maker of all things will lead us and guide us in the ways we did not know, turn the darkness into light and make the rough places smooth.  We do not know His works like how we do not know the way of the wind or  how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child. As you do not know what is the way of the wind, Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, So you do not know the works of God who makes everything - Ecclesiastes 11:5. 

I will lead the blind by ways they have not known

                    God will lead us in ways we do not know. Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert - Isaiah 43:18,19. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert - Isaiah 43:19.

We don’t know where we are going

Along unfamiliar paths I will guide them

                     God will guide us in paths that are unfamiliar for us. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye - Psalm 32:8. Teach me the way in which I should walk; For to You I lift up my soul - Psalm 143:8. I instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths - Proverbs 4:11. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths - Proverbs 3:6.

I will turn the darkness into light before them 

                  God will turn darkness into light before us. You, Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light - Psalm 18:28. The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, Upon them a light has shined - Isaiah 9:2.

I will make the rough places smooth  

                   God will go before us, break the obstacles and make all our crooked places straight. I will go before you and make the crooked places straight - Isaiah 45:2. Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth - Isaiah 40:4,5. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight - Proverbs 3: 5, 6.

These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them 

                    God will lead us in ways we do not know and guide us in the paths that are unfamiliar for us. He will make darkness light before us and rough places smooth in our life. He will do these things and He will never forsake us. I will never leave you nor forsake you - Joshua 1:5. The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes - Psalm 118:23. And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed - Deuteronomy 31:8. 

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go - Joshua 1:9.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for leading us in ways we do not know and guiding us along unfamiliar paths, turning the darkness into light before us and making rough places smooth and forsaking us. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
