Faithful Travelers on a Spiritual Journey
Sermon by Martin G. CollinsGod actively leads, corrects, and refines His people to promote spiritual growth and salvation. He has given His Word for guidance and direction to follow now. Although the exact path remains unclear amid challenges that sometimes misdirect, God provides instruction for a straight path and requires faith, flexibility, and obedience. He never stops pointing the way and stands beside His people as they go. Moses trusted God's guidance even without knowing every detail of the journey. God skillfully directs both individual lives and the whole church toward His intended purpose and will. He knows how to deliver those who overcome sin and reverence Him. God provides divine protection along the way and supplies the strength to follow His commands. He does not deliver on demand but evaluates mental and physical effort, requiring submission to His will and teachability. When tempted or headed the wrong way, prayer for help allows God to rebuke the adversary or grant resistance. God will provide the means to walk the path while His people do the walking.
