This is what the Lord says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:“I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is good for you and leads you along the paths you should follow.18 Oh, that you had listened to my commands! Then you would have had peace flowing like a gentle river and righteousness rolling over you like waves in the sea.--- Isaiah 49:17-18Like a loving parent, God teaches and guides us. We should listen to him because peace and righteousness come to us as we obey his Word. Refusing to pay attention to God’s commands invites punishment and threatens that peace and righteousness.-- Life Application Study Bible notes
