The bible says "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord", but how are they ordered? We must seek His instructions in His word and be lead by His spirit. It is when we are obedient to God's word that we are the good man whose steps are ordered by God, for he ordered all steps, but not all obey His orders. Daily wisdom is available in God's word through meditating and memorizing. But most of all, we have to take it seriously, placing it deep inside our hearts and believing this is the only way to conduct our lives. Those who study and practice God's word experience contentment and his peace.
If God's word is deep within the heart, the lips will pour out truth. No speaking against God, no use of profane expressions, foolishness, slandering, arguing, nor bragging. Your eyes will be fixed on Jesus, with no time for looking to the left or the right.Those who name God as Father should have their feet firmly on God's path, not making rash decision or falling off the path into temptations. But how do we keep to the path when there are so many stumbling block? Well the perfect path is always the one that follows God's instruction. If we stray onto another path, His instructions can lead us to where we need to be. As the psalmist said," your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path". When we get out of His light, we stumble hopelessly in darkness. In light of His instructions, we can pay attention to and examine our steps.
Solomon was led astray by keeping close company with those who worshiped idols. This moved his heart away from God, so he advised, keep your distance from those who do cause evil and from evil doers, stay away from those who oppose God's agenda.When people you are around don't want to walk on God's path, pray for them and continue on alone if need be, don't be led astray. Do you find yourself stumbling in some area of life? Do you need to regain your footing? Take hold to God's instruction, and don't let her Go, for she is your life.
