The Path Of The
Righteous
Do
not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers. Avoid
it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way. For they cannot rest
until they do evil; they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.
They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.
The
path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the
full light of day. But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not
know what makes them stumble. My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your
ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and
health to one’s whole body. Above all else, guard your heart, for everything
you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far
from your lips. Let your eyes look
straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the
paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right
or the left; keep your foot from evil.
Proverbs 4:14-27
Think
about the path at your feet. In some cases you choose that path, and you may
not have chosen wisely. In other cases, you are set on the path and you can
pray for the routes to take along the way.
No
one wants to go through life on a selfish, heartless road. But it can happen
unless we consider where we are going in life and ask the Lord for His
direction.
You are headed in the right direction when you walk with God.
