THE WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESSStella Dhinakaran The highway of the upright avoids evil; he who guards his way guards his life. (Proverbs 16:17) Dearly beloved, There are two ways, good and bad, before us to choose and follow. They are also known as narrow and wide gates (Matthew 7:13,14). The Bible states, “The fear of the Lord is to hate evil” (Proverbs 8:13). The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Therefore, those who depart from evil are blessed with the wisdom of God. Let us always pray, “Lord, help me stay away the evil ways and give me the grace to follow Your divine ways.” Then He will surely give us strength and bless our lives. He will go before us and make the crooked places straight (Isaiah 45:2). According to His promise, He will definitely keep us away from evil ways and help us lead holy and righteous lives. When my son Paul Dhinakaran was six years old, God spoke to him through the the Holy Spirit. He told him, “Son, there are two ways before you. One is the way of the fish that swims straight. The other is the way of a crab which moves in a crooked manner. Choose for yourself the way you want to go!” After hearing everything, he chose the way of the crab and went away from God for sometime. But we the parents prayed to God daily with tears in our eyes. God heard our prayers offered with tears and made him leave his bad friends and brought him back to His divine ways. Indeed, it is amazing to witness how God, in His immense grace and mercy, is making thousands of young people to follow the way of a fish through my son Paul Dhinakaran’s life and ministry. Dear Friend! The Bible says, “The highway of the upright avoids evil; he who guards his way guards his life” (Proverbs 16:17). Seek the ways of righteousness. Then you are sure to preserve your soul. Today, right now, will you decide to come back to the way of a fish? The Bible exhorts, “Let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God” (2 Corinthians 7:1). Plead with God to go before you for He says, “This is the way, walk in it” (Isaiah 30;21). This will surely help you to overcome evil and follow the true and righteous ways. Prayer: Loving Lord Jesus, I honour You with all my heart and choose to walk in your ways. Please go before me and show me the way of righteousness. Give me the wisdom to walk in the right path. Bless me immensely. In Your matchless name I pray. Amen. ----
