"And your ears shall hear a word behind you saying, 'This is the way, walk in it,' when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left" (v. 21, ESV).
If God is my guide, leading me on the road toward heaven, then why do I hear his voice behind me? Everytime I stray from the path I've been called to follow, I put myself in front, leading the way. Whether it is intentional or that I was just distracted does not matter. The fact remains that I am no longer following Christ, my guide. And that is why I hear his voice behind saying, "Hey, Stephen, let's go. This is way. Walk in it."
