Don't
Get
Sidetracked.
Scripture
Proverbs
4
Observation
All
of us have the tendency to get sidetracked easily, don't we! At my
age, it is easy to get sidetracked!
It
is easy to forget what I was supposed to be doing. I can walk out to
the garage and forget why I went out there. Or I walk out to the
garage and start doing something totally different than what I went
out there to do and then only later remembering what I was supposed
to be out there doing.
But
don't laugh you do it too!
Getting
sidetracked in that way might be frustrating but pretty harmless, but
getting sidetracked by sin, now that is something that is way more
serious, way more dangerous and way more destructive!
The
temptation is always there, it is there 24/7, for us to get off
track, for us to get off the safe path.
So
let's stay on track! Let's continue doing the next right thing!
Proverbs
3:5-6
5 Trust in
the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
6 Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.
do not depend on your own understanding.
6 Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.
Proverbs
4:23
Psalm
119:105
Your
word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.
Application
I
will ask the Lord to keep me on the right path.
How
about you?
Psalm
25:4
Show
me the right path, O Lord;
point out the road for me to follow.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, it is so easy for me to get sidetracked and doing something
that is not the most important. Guide me today. Keep me away from
stupid sins. Sins that would get me off the path that You want me to
walk. Help me to focus on what is most important. Put on my heart
those things that You want me to do and make sure that I do them.
I
pray for any person reading this blog today. Keep them on the right
path. Keep them away from stupid sins that would cause them to get
sidetracked. Help them today to walk in victory.
