"This is what the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says, I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit (benefit), Who leads you in the way that you should go." Isaiah 48:17 AMP
Whenever God gets you involved in what He is doing, you are the better for it. You are the one who gets Blessed. No one can honestly do anything for The Lord and be disadvantaged or disappointed. This is why, when God starts speaking, you better start listening. Life is all about decision making. Every part of life is filled with having to make decisions, some are small and some are huge. All of them make a definite impact upon our present and our future as well as impacting our family, friends, fellow-workers, brethren at church, people at school, and on it goes. The key is to make the right decision, because the Decision Maker knows it all.
The text verse explains why we should listen to God. The Word of God is filled with the most precious promises. Notice that God is the speaker here, it's not just anyone eliciting your attention and response. It is your Redeemer who will not simply leave you a victim of circumstances or your own bad decisions. He is the One, the only Being worthy of the title "The Holy One." The One with whom you have entered into a covenant relationship. God in His word teaches us so many things, He is the One who teaches you to be profitable, meaning if you obey His teachings; they will bring increase to your life. The profit or return from those who follow His teachings lasts far longer and are more valuable than the silver or gold so many seek.
He is our direction and the Way we should go always and at all times. He is the Best Leader, who knows the end from the beginning. He knows your very end, no other gods knows your end better than the One who is The Beginning and The End. Let Him lead you.

Declare This: Dear Father, You are the Way, the Truth and the Life. I will not go in the direction You did not destine me to follow, I will only follow Your way and plans for my life in Jesus name Amen.
