Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"saying to them that are bound, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture." — Isaiah 49:9 (ASV)

They shall feed in the ways.

On their way to the one great fold on the hill-tops of glory, they shall find suitable and sufficient pasture: They shall feed in the ways.

That you may say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.

When Christ leads his flock, wherever they go they shall feed; and even if he leads them to the very tops of the hills, he shall make the pastures grow there for them. There is never a place where Christ leads us that is not safe for us to go there. The Shepherd's feet make pasture for the sheep that follow him; therefore, do not be afraid to go wherever he leads you, but rather rejoice that he puts forth his own sheep and goes before them, for they shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.
