Astray
4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:4-6
Have you ever thought about what going astray actually means? We are all guided by God to remain on a path of righteousness, but many times we take a turn here or there that takes us off the path. How far we stray off that path can be a challenge at times, because God wants on the straight and narrow path. God knows that we can easily stray because the enemy is influential here on Earth, but He also provides a way out for us under that burden of being tested. Just like the scripture says, we have all gone astray, but the plan God made for us with the sacrifice of His Son, also gives us a path to follow. When you find yourself going astray, remember the sacrifice that Christ made for all who believe.
Have a great weekend.
