We’ve all been subject to making “choices” in our life. Some choices have been good, bad, some so-so choices. Some choices have been vocational or career choices; some have been speech, friends, lifestyles or even behavioral choices in our day.
However,
in making these choices how often do we actually sit and analyze or examine the
choice we must yield or even the circumstances and/or consequences we must
endure thereafter?
Solomon states in Proverbs 4:26
Survey the path for your feet and all your
ways will be sure
Pretty
self-explanatory, huh?!? Let’s further
explore what exactly this verse is detailing…
Survey= It is to simply think about the path
before we employ and choose to do anything,
To explore and study what the possibilities, weigh out the pro’s and con’s
prior to making your choice.
The Path
= the path is a metaphoric
path. It is the journey we call
life.
Your
Feet = is not literally your ten
toes – two feet! It is a figurative verb
for action!
All your
ways will be sure = “Wise living
does not come by accident. It must be thoughtfully pursued” ~Unkown
So,
before we engage, or choose to do anything we must simply investigate it our
actions, then proceed for they will be indisputable. If you are able to SURVEY your PATH for your FEET then in all simplicity your choices will be unquestionable. In this way we can all walk with and buoyancy that we made the right
choice/discernment in this journey, called life!
Grab
your journal:
“There
are only two ways to live your life. One
is as though nothing is a miracle the other is as though everything is a
miracle” ~ Albert Einstein. We have the
choice to live our lives on the perception of which way we want to live.
Meditate
for a moment on three choices you have had to make in your life (you could use
the aforementioned list to help guide you).
Did you SURVEY prior to making those particular choices? Looking back, could you see a difference if
you had or had not done a little SURVEYING prior?
