eVotional: Proverbs 4:25-26

Walk this Way

“Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eye lids look straight before thee.  Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.”

Proverbs 4:25-26

We are recommended to watch the way we walk.  By taking careful account of our steps and looking straight ahead we create less tangents in our life. Look straight ahead helps to remove tempting visuals.  Looking straight ahead at the path God has given us empowers us to care less about who is talking about you and me or who is lying and sowing discord!

If we will do this, ALL of our ways will be established.  Those things I described happen to us all. The WORD is the lamp to our feet and the light to our path.  How can we see our path without a light in this darkened world? Distraction is available 24/7.

When do you need God’s help?  Now?  Look straight ahead, walking in his word, being present and in the moment you find yourself in. Don’t waist any more time with vain repetitions. We know what their end is because we are far too familiar with them. The beset to change is to do something different! Start something new! Praise God like your next blessing is already here and watch God fight the battle for you. If he inhabits the praises of his people (Psa 22:3), find a way to praise him as often as you can. And you’ll find him inhabiting your steps; even when you didn’t notice he was there!
