God speaks prophecy to those children near and far:

To do the right thing is not easy, but necessary. You are leaders of the right. You take the right action, and speak the right words at the right time. What is right? Only what I say and when I say. And who can hear me say when and what? Can the pastors in the pulpits hear? No, not many can. How about the presidents and rulers of countries around the world? No. There is only one and he is a bit sketchy in our connection. Hear my voice and heed my warnings. The time is running out to do the right thing,

How many times does a parent tell a child no, before they physically correct them? The days of correction are here now. I am not going to allow the wayward to have their selfish way. I will turn them from the errors of their ways, back to my straight ways and they will walk with Christ by choice or by restraint. My people are high minded and arrogant. Not listening nor casting down the ways of the world. Redirect them and turn their gaze from the flashing lights of the world to the light of my word. This is NOT Vegas. What happens in the earth is well seen by me and no one is able to hide their sins.

Be in my way, my son Jesus Christ for he is holy and will lead you in my straight path, one that leads to my heart of love and forgiveness. Come forward now and turn away from the world. Turn into my shelter from the storms and enter my warehouse of plenty where no thieves may approach. I have all of the keys to the doors and I have locked out the evil. Only my children who choose to abide in Christ will be given entrance to my bounty. Make your way to him now my people and make him your only way.

(God said right seven times, and he said way seven times. Seven biblically represents completeness—physical and divine perfection. Just noting, I noticed.)

Today’s Written Word

The word for Right in the New Testament Greek is dikaios G1432, It is translated as righteous, right, just and meet. It’s definition is:

righteous, observing divine laws
1. in a wide sense, upright, righteous, virtuous, keeping the commands of God
  1. of those who seem to themselves to be righteous, who pride themselves to be righteous, who pride themselves in their virtues, whether real or imagined
  2. innocent, faultless, guiltless
  3. used of him whose way of thinking, feeling, and acting is wholly conformed to the will of God, and who therefore needs no rectification in the heart or life
    1. only Christ truly
  4. approved of or acceptable of God
2. in a narrower sense, rendering to each his due and that in a judicial sense, passing just judgment on others, whether expressed in words or shown by the manner of dealing with them.

Matthew 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Romans 7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just (right), and good.

Way is the Greek word hodos, G3598. Defined as: properly, a way, a road travelled, journey, a course of conduct.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

II Peter 2:22 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

James 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

A Word of Encouragement

It’s very encouraging to hear that as we listen to God and obey, we are the right ones doing the right thing and speaking the right words at the right time. God gives a great example all of the parents can appreciate. How many times do we correct our children before physically moving them away from what they are doing in disobedience. We can be in Christ and abiding in his way, the right way, the only way. Time to speak up to help others get their lives straightened out and stay straight, and ours too.

An Action Item

Let’s be in the way of Jesus Christ today. Let’s read about him, talk with him, ask of him, and listen to him with a heart to obey him. He is the only way and he is our Lord, the head of the church today. He is God’s way, God’s son, God’s living word. He is righteous, right and true.
