Isaiah 45:2 -- On Obstacles

"I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron."
Isaiah 45:2


This verse is directed to Cyrus, but I figure since we're supposed to liken all scriptures to ourselves that it can probably count for more than that. The idea here is basically that God will remove all obstacles from his path, so that he can accomplish the Lord's will. I think that, generally, the Lord will do that for all of us, if we are walking in his way. Some things have to be endured and learned from, so it isn't like any life is going to be obstacle-free, but if we are doing God's will, he will help us figure them out and in some cases just blow past them like they were nothing because we are on his path and he is going to hasten his work. Today, let's do his will, and pray for guidance and help as we face the obstacles of life. Some of them will melt away, others will become easier, and with others, God will help strengthen us so that we can endure them well. :)
