"The Path of Safety"

Good morning Ye Seekers of Wisdoom, :)

I trust you all celebrated "The Resurrection of Jesus" with your family and friends! We had a wonderful time at our church, CCC in Brooklyn, on Good Friday and Easter. The time of fasting for a week focused my attention and gave me a NEW understanding of Christ's sacrifice...Thank You Lord!! I am more focused than ever before...

Today's bold print is found in verse 6 today, the NIV:

Proverbs 13:6

"Godliness guards the path of the blameless, the evil are misled by sin."

Godliness as defined is: "conforming to the laws and wishes of God" (dictionary.com). To us as Christians, we know we become godly after we accept Christ into our hearts and then we want to live a life of gratitude by being obedient. So, godliness in this context is obedience....agreed?

When we are obedient, our path is guarded because we are in the place (or on the path) of God's protection. We are obeying His commands and instructions and that is a place of safety!!

I hinted at the principle above; but here it is officially, as quoted from a great man that I know: "Our greatest place of protection is obedience to God's word"! No "ifs ands or buts"; OBEDIENCE! So, just to continue the thought....WHAT KIND OF PATH DOES DISOBEDIENCE TAKE YOU ON? Hmmmmm...do you want to be on THAT path???

Make the wise choice, folks: choose OBEDIENCE!!
