'Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand or to the left: remove thy foot from evil' (Proverbs 4:26-27).
We are all on a life journey which includes obstacles, dangers, distress, disappointments and evil surmising. In that journey we also experience peace, joy, love, compassion and kindness; etc. But the Bible says we are to "ponder the path of thy feet and let thy ways be established." When you're walking and deliberately consider where you step, you're far less likely to stumble or fall in a trap. Solomon in giving assurance to his son, that a well-pondered path establishes a secure direction for life, is also speaking to us today. Have you ever thought about, where you go? What about where you have already trodden? Had it been a path of usefulness; has it been a way of evil or good? Had you visited the Cross? And what about the path you're treading now? Are you following the footsteps of Christ? In taking the right steps, we must first examine our motives which engages us to take it; as well as look at the circumstances which accompany them. Sometimes we don't think enough about the path of our feet. We just act and go along with our lives. We don't take the time to think about where we are going - what we're doing - and where it is going to lead. When we begin to think this way and aligning our will to God's, we will have a life that matters, one that is upright and good; one that is steadfast in what pleases and honour the Lord. We will look at the way of our feet, we will know not to turn to the right or the left. Because turning to the right or to the left means, you're choosing to depart from God's path and walking in your own, the world's ways, or those of the devil. The only turn we need to make in life is the one from evil, because the longer we remain in the presence of evil, the more likely we are to participate in it. Think about where you are going. It is important to consider our lives and examine them from time to time. Let's start today!
