Proverbs 4:25-27 (NLT) Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.
I have always wanted to take a Mediterranean cruise but certainly wouldn’t want it to end up like the cruise that ended in tragedy off the coast of Tuscany this week. Apparently the captain wanted to show the ship off to the island and veered off course to get closer. To make matters worse the captain and some crew members abandoned ship leaving the passengers to fend for themselves. Ships offer safety training to passengers, but this cruise was just beginning and that training had not taken place.
We might not steer a ship but we do direct our lives. The bible provides safety training for us. It shines light upon safe paths for our lives. The closer we can stick to that path, the better chance we have for a godly and abundant life.
Dear Lord, “Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you. Amen. –Psalm 143:8
