The King's Highway
The wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. (Isaiah 35:8)
The way of holiness is so straight and plain that the simplest minds cannot go astray if they constantly
follow it. The worldly wise have many twists and turns, and yet they make terrible blunders and
generally miss their end. Worldly policy is a poor, shortsighted thing, and when men choose it as their
road, it leads them over dark mountains. Gracious minds know no better than to do as the Lord bids
them, but this keeps them in the King's highway and under royal protection.
Let the reader never for a moment attempt to help himself out of a difficulty by a falsehood or by a
questionable act, but let him keep in the middle of the high road of truth and integrity, and he will be
following the best possible course. In our lives, we must never practice circular sailing nor dream of
shuffling. Be just and fear not, Follow Jesus and heed no evil consequences. If the worst of ills could
be avoided by wrongdoing, we should, in the very attempt, have fallen into an evil worse than any
other ill could be. God's way must be the very best way. Follow it though men think you a fool, and
you will be truly wise.
Lord, lead Thy servants in a plain path because of their enemies.t the Lord be thy confidence.
