“Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure.” Proverbs 4:26
We have many directions in which to travel, some good, some not so good and even useless directions that serve no purpose but to stall us. God has a path laid out for us. He knows the direction in which we should go but He has equipped us with free will that allows us to take make the wrong choices for our path. Often we will be faced with a fork in the road, one of the ways looks hard, dangerous, rocky and muddy, while the other one looks like smooth barefoot style type landscape. We tend to take the easy road because we think it will get us where we think we need to go without a whole lot of hassle. But, what if I told you that God wants us to travel down the hard, dangerous, rocky, muddy roads? He wants to see our desire and workmanship played out by how we travel the road. His destination is greater than we can even imagine. Sure on a hot day, that water fountain at the end of the barefoot style type landscape look inviting but how grand would it be to dive into the sea of possibilities God has waiting for us at the end of the dangerous, rocky road?
When your path is stretched out before you, even if there is no fork in the road, check your feet. Take a minute to re-evaluate and ponder their direction because if they are pointed towards Him who made them then all your ways will be sure.
