The Path He Has Chosen, and the Way to Get There
God always has a way. He always has a plan for you.
His Ways are higher than our ways, and His Thoughts are higher than our thoughts.
For He has shown you oh man what is good, so what does The LORD require of you?
For many, the path is like a tapestry, being woven at every crossroad, being crossed by many, but intersected by few who are willing to meet there.
We avoid eye contact as if something evil is taking place. We avoid speaking, so that we won’t have to answer any questions.
If we answer anyone at the intersection, it may cause us to miss something that might seem to be more important, taking up so much of our time. (A terrible way to treat someone.).
But there is something that we truly are missing.
We are missing The LORD’s voice.
His Thoughts are great, and His Ways are wonderful, yes, but the very purpose for which He sends us is to obey The Voice of The LORD.
He directs us on our way through the tapestry He has been weaving, causing us to intersect where He wants our obedience to His Voice to make an impact on other people He is reaching out to through you.
When you realize you have missed out on an important opportunity, He gives you another opportunity.
He is not like a man that would say, “Hey, you really messed up on that one, didn’t you.”
He is still faithful to your faith, and your desire to serve Him.
He is still showing you, oh man, what is good, so what does The LORD require of you: “but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God!”
The Voice of The LORD is powerful.
The Voice of The LORD is full of Majesty.
“I know your works, See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My Word and have not denied My Name.” Revelation 3:8

Thomas Downes. Walking with The LORD for over 40 years, Thomas runs “The Voice of the Writer” a Prophetic Ministry. His purpose is to present the Word of God and the Love of God with the prophetic heart; the heart that desires to hear the Voice of The LORD, and present His Word for the encouragement of others.
Wonderful words and oh so true, Thomas.
Thank you for bringing this message to true simplicity in the gospel message, we all so need. Love the scriptures. God bless you.
Thomas, liked your post….
“But to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God!”
A seemingly simple verse- but so powerful and deep. God simplifies ‘religious jargon’. He is succinct. The gospel mandate is succinct – love God and others, be humble.
You beautifully clarified the essence of God: Be humble. Love.
Amen – Thank you man of God. How He loves us! Lam. 3:22-24
Yes Amen
