Watch the Path

"Let your eyes look directly ahead

         And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you. 

Watch the path of your  feet

         And all your ways will be established." Proverbs 4:25-26

Each day we have a choice of where we will go. Will we walk solidly with the Lord? Or will we veer off on our own, without considering the consequences? It takes commitment and determination to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and walk straight ahead with Him, especially in a world that regards Him as insignificant. But He has promised eternal life as our ultimate reward for following Him. That's something the world can never give us.

A Light on My Path

"Your word is a lamp to my feet

And a light to my path" 

Psalm 119:105

It's so easy to become confused in this rapidly changing world we live in. Popular opinion drives the decisions of so many people. But what happens when views change? When what seemed wrong yesterday is now right simply because "everyone is doing it"? The path we are walking can suddenly become dark and indistinguishable.  But when we go to scripture for our answers instead of following the crowd, the verses we read shed light on our circumstances and show us the best way to go. In a world of uncertainty, we can be certain that God never changes, nor does His word.
