Holiness Highway

What highway does God call his redeemed to travel? What does the pathway of holiness look like? What does it look like for us to walk as the redeemed of God?
The pathway of God is not like the pathways of this world. God’s highway is one of holiness. The redeemed of God walk in God’s way.
Isaiah spoke of God’s highway of holiness and his restoration, saying, “The burning sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water; in the haunt of jackals, where they lie down, the grass shall become reeds and rushes. And a highway shall be there, and it shall be called the Way of Holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it. It shall belong to those who walk on the way; even if they are fools, they shall not go astray. No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it; they shall not be found there, but the redeemed shall walk there.” (Isaiah 35:7-9, ESV).
God has provided a highway of holiness for his children to travel in a restored land flowing with springs of water. When we walk in God’s way as his redeemed, we experience the restoration God has for us in a fertile land of peace, which belongs to everyone who walks on his highway.
May we travel the highway of holiness that God has set before us to travel and may we experience his restoration as we walk in his way as his redeemed.
A Collect for the Third Sunday in Advent: “O Lord Jesus Christ, you sent your messengers the prophets to preach repentance and prepare the way for our salvation: Grant that the ministers and stewards of your mysteries may likewise make ready your way, by turning the hearts of the disobedient toward the wisdom of the just, that at your second coming to judge the world, we may be found a people acceptable in your sight; for with the Father and the Holy Spirit you live and reign, one God, now and for ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
