When you walk down right paths, Your steps won’t be delayed. When you run, you’ll not fall; You will not be afraid. Take hold of instruction; Don’t let it go in strife. Keep her close beside you For she is your whole life. Do not enter the path Of any wicked men. Avoid it and pass on; Turn away from all sin. They do not sleep unless They have done evil deeds And have made someone fall, For their hatred succeeds. The path of righteousness Is like the shining sun That shines ever brighter. The perfect day is done. The path of the wicked Is like the dark, the deep. They do not know what makes Them stumble when they leap. (Based on Proverbs 4:12-19)
Godly wisdom is not a series of choices every now and then, but a way of life. It is wisdom’s path that saves us from dangerous consequences. Will we experience difficult times? Of course, but God’s Word promises that with wisdom we will see outcomes that benefit us as we learn patience and build character. When we run the course of our life, we will not stumble, but stand strong. God’s Word teaches us to lead a life that honors and respects Him. It helps with our work, with money, marriage, friendships, family life, and our relationship with God.
“Father, God, I am grateful for the freedom I experience following Your good path. Please keep showing me your way.”
"Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths." Psalm 25:4
"Ponder the path of Your feet, and let all Your ways be established." Proverbs 4:26
