NO MORE SLIPPERY SLOPES


 

Today’s Bible readings are Job 4:1-7:21, 1 Corinthians 14:18-40, Psalm 37:30-40, & Proverbs 21:27


Psalm 37:30-31
30 The godly offer good counsel; they teach right from wrong. 31 They have made God’s law their own, so they will never slip from his path.

In a day in which there are so many things that we can’t be certain about, God offers us a beautiful promise in His Word. He promises us a way that will ensure that we never slip from His path. Think about that for a moment; to know that there is a way to make sure that we always stay in God’s will & on God’s path? That is an awesome thought.

Remember it is in His path that we find:


1.      Purpose


2.      Blessing


3.      Protection


4.      Joy


5.      Peace


6.      Hope



7.      Strength


These are things that we need on a regular basis. These are all things that we can have in abundance & without end if we stay connect to God. They are things that we can have if we stay on His path.

So what is the way that ensures we never leave His path? What is required to keep us safely moving on the path He has laid?

 



Making God’s law our own.


When we chose to make the law of God the guiding force in our lives we will always be safe on His path. His Word & His Spirit are always in agreement. They both, also, always agree with Him! One will always lead us to the other. They work together for the same purpose—KEEPING US ON GOD’S PATH!

Make it your aim to continue to learn God’s Word. Make it your aim to continue to meditate on it. Fill your mind & heart with God’s Word. It is life to those who find it. It is a light unto thy path!
