Isaiah 30:20-23 (New American Standard Bible)

20Although the Lord has given you (A)bread of privation and water of oppression, He, your Teacher will no longer (B)hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher.
21Your ears will hear a word behind you, "This is the (C)way, walk in it," whenever you (D)turn to the right or to the left.
22And you will defile your graven (E)images overlaid with silver, and your molten (F)images plated with gold You will scatter them as an impure thing, and say to them, "(G)Be gone!"
23Then He will (H)give you rain for the seed which you will sow in the ground, and bread from the yield of the ground, and it will be rich and plenteous; on that day (I)your livestock will graze in a roomy pasture.

This is a short devotion but I think this Scripture speaks for itself. God will direct all our ways. We are to cast away our idols that we have made and know they are impure and polluted. It will be a true repentance in our hearts and in our deeds. He gives us teachers that instruct us but He is our main teacher. If we listen, we will hear what He has to say. Listen to the Holy Spirit who tells us where we should go and where we should not go. He gives us directions to protect us. We will have seasonable rain, great pastures, abundance of fruit, healing and spiritual light and knowledge. He is telling us to walk in it, walk the right way. There will be an increase! Thank you Lord! God offers many words that encourage us. Take courage God's children for He loves, cares and provides for us!
