*WALK ON RIGHTEOUS PATHS*
*Bible Text: Proverbs 2: 20- 22;
20 So you may walk in the way of goodness,
And keep to the paths of righteousness.
21 For the upright will dwell in the land,
And the blameless will remain in it;
22 But the wicked will be cut off from the earth,
And the unfaithful will be uprooted from it.
*4:24-27*
24 Put away from you a deceitful mouth,
And put perverse lips far from you.
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead,
And your eyelids look right before you.
26 Ponder the path of your feet,
And let all your ways be established.
27 Do not turn to the right or the left;
Remove your foot from evil.
*RBT Passage: Psalms 38-42*
'Thus you will walk in the ways of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous.' - *Proverbs 2:20*
At infancy, babies need their parents for everything. This makes babies' first steps one of the most exciting and memorable of milestones. It is easy to see that it is often one small step for the baby, but one giant leap for the parents. When babies take their first steps can vary tremendously from child-to-child, even within the same family. Whenever a child decides to begin this new experience, it marks the beginning of a new and exciting stage; one of high energy, constant movement, and falling. Just like parents, God also delights in seeing His children walk on the path He has set before them.
Today's passage is an encouragement to stay on the righteous path and remain focused on things that are good.
The Scriptures promise the righteous safety but warns that the wicked will be cut off.
Many people compromise righteousness so as to protect their lives. Little do they know that outside God there is no assurance of life. The truth is that no one can protect himself or herself. But God has promised to keep us safe if only we will remain in Him.
What are the things shifting your feet from the righteous path? Run to God for grace to remain steadfast so that you can be preserved.
*Insight*: True protection is found in God
*Prayer*: Lord, give me the grace to remain faithful on the path of righteousness so that I can be safe.
