Think about the path you are launching out on. Make sure that the path you are heading out on leads to righteousness. Do not despair of the path you have chosen. Make your path straight. Things of the world must not attract you off this path. Stay on the straight path that will lead you to heaven.

God calls us to stay spiritually alert at all times, and that includes taking regular inventory of our lives’ directions

 PSALM.139:23, 24 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting. 

Proverbs 3:29 Do not devise harm against your neighbor, while he lives securely beside you.

We should not live in strife and fussing but should learn to live peaceably with all men. If we live for the Lord, we are promised that even our enemies will be at peace with us. This does not say that there is never a time for strife. If your enemy attacks you, you may defend yourself; but you must not start strife nor keep it going.  

Proverbs 2:21-22For the upright will live in the land And the blameless will remain in it 22 But the wicked will be cut off from the land And the treacherous will be uprooted from it.

“Dwell in the land … remain”: Exactly opposite to those who live in sexual sin and are headed for death, those who belong to the Lord will live.

(In Psalms we read); 

Psalms 37:29 “The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.”

We have seen over and over how the wicked will be driven off the land. Canaan became the land of Israel because the wicked were driven out. 

The Christians shall reign 1000 years with Jesus.

Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.

Proverbs 2:20 So you will walk in the way of good men And keep to the paths of the righteous.

The word “will” in this verse lets us know that it is our choice. It is our decision to live the way of the world or to live for the Lord Jesus. Our free will determines which. This is a decision no one else can make for you. You must decide life or death.

Proverbs 1:33 But whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.

This is a beautiful description of the security and peace that comes when we are hidden in the Lord Jesus. Fear will not be a part of our vocabulary, because it is the opposite of faith. If we have faith in the Lord, there is no fear.

Proverbs 29:25 Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trust in the LORD is kept safe.

Fear is lack of faith. If we have faith in the Lord, we have nothing to fear. To fear man and what he can do to you is sin. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and He shall give you peace and rest

Proverbs 28:23 He who rebukes a man will in the end gain more favor than he who has a flattering tongue.

We see in this a spiritual rebuke of a person who is slipping away from God. A backslider who is helped back to God will thank you for it later.

Someone who flatters with the tongue and says everything is okay can do you great harm. Flattery has no value but reproof does, so it leads to gratitude.

Truth is always the best rule.

Proverbs 28:24 “He who robs his father or his mother And says, “It is not a transgression,” Is the companion of a man who destroys.”

This man is not only a robber but is a robber of his own flesh and blood. Thieves can think of good excuses, but there is no reason to rob.

To plunder one’s own family is an unthinkable crime, but it is worst yet when denied. This person not only destroys his parents’ living by taking their material goods but breaks their hearts as well. He is not a builder, he is a destroyer.

Proverbs 28:25 He who trust in himself is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom is kept safe.

This is arrogance that satisfies itself at the expense of conflict with others and never knows the prosperity of humble trust in God.

A proud heart has to do with being puffed up with self. He stirs up strife because he feels no one has an opinion worth hearing but his own.

Trust goes farther than faith. It is when we rest in the Lord knowing that all is well. When I say “rest” here, I do not mean we stop working. I mean we have complete confidence in the Lord.

Proverbs 25:28 – Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control.

A city without a wall is in peril. It has no protection. A man’s spirit is what he is. If he loses control of the spirit, he has lost control of himself. The spirit of a man must control the flesh, or else, the man will go the way of the flesh.

Such are exposed and vulnerable to the incursion of evil thoughts and successful temptations which leads them to hell.
