Deuteronomy 5:32-33 - You shall be careful therefore to do as the Lord your God has commanded you. You shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. You shall walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land that you shall possess.

Isaiah 30:20-22 - And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself anymore, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. 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. Then you will defile your carved idols overlaid with silver and your gold-plated metal images. You will scatter them as unclean things. You will say to them, “Be gone!”

Regarding the former, it is one of a threefold request I lift in prayer commonly (i.e. that the Lord will make me to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with Him; diverging neither to the left nor to the right; and as much as it depends upon me and my house, that I will live at peace with all those around me). This morning a brother in Christ from BF "coincidentally" (yeah, right...) texted me the latter. Though I'd never noticed it before, they've recently become a favorite taken together. One is a command I cannot fulfill, and the other a prophetic promise that my Teacher will do the work. Together, they further illuminate for me the blessing of sanctification provided by our Lord.
