No Alternate Routes

Alternative routes may look appealing, but they often carry consequences we never expected. Pharaoh offered Moses four shortcuts to releasing God’s people (Exodus 8:25, 28; 10:11, 24). Each one looked easier. Each one sounded reasonable. Yet none aligned with God’s clear instructions.

They were not solutions.
They were distractions—attempts to mask Pharaoh’s refusal to obey God.

When Scripture declares, “This is what the Lord says,” there is no safe “alternate route.”
Only God’s will, done God’s way, leads to God’s intended destination.

And remember this truth that anchors every journey:
One Almighty is more than all mighties.
No power, pressure, or shortcut can compete with the authority of the One who leads you.

To understand how God guides us, look up these verses:

Psalm 119:105 — The Bible is a lamp and a light.
Psalm 119:11 — The best place to hide God’s Word is in your heart.

God’s path is never confusing. His Word illuminates every step for those willing to follow.

Reflection Prompt

Choose one destination in your life today—
a decision, a conversation, a responsibility, a place you must show up.

Now map out God’s route:

What does His Word say about the attitude you should carry?
What obedience is required?
What shortcuts must you refuse?
What promise lights the next step?

Walk the route He reveals.
His way is always the way home.

Foolish Fear

Fear can push us toward deception. Sometimes we’re so afraid of consequences or authority that we choose a lie instead of truth. But fear‑driven deception is never wisdom. “Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only for a moment” (Proverbs 12:19).

Abram felt this fear in Egypt (Genesis 12:10–20). Facing Pharaoh’s power, he hid the truth — and it brought trouble, not safety. As the Bashi people say: “Omurrhebwa arhaba mwenge” — “The one who is deceived is never clever.”
And as we say in Haitian Creole: “Trou manti pa fon.”
A hole dug by lies is never deep.

Jesus gives us the right perspective: “Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28).
When our reverence is rightly placed, truth becomes our strength, not our risk.

Choose truth. Trust God. Reject foolish fear.
