Which Way?

March 14, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Proverbs.14:12
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

 

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

   

    No matter who we are, or what we are doing, there always seem to be three ways to do things. No, that is not a typo; I meant to write three ways.

 

    First, there is the wrong way. Nobody wants to do things the wrong way. You will never hear someone say, “Hey let’s just do this all wrong to see what will happen.” They know what will happen. It will come out wrong.

 

    Next, there is the right way. However, it always seems that doing things the right way includes reading a bunch of directions, doing things in a certain order, and so on. That sounds like it could take a long time.

 

    Therefore, we usually try the third way, OUR WAY. A few shortcuts here, not so much reading there, and done. Then we ask; “what do I do with the parts left over?” Finally, when things go wrong, as they often do, we ask, “How come?” Well, the reason is, that there are really only two ways to do things. Anything not done the right way is automatically the wrong way.

 

    We cannot take shortcuts in life either. Not reading God’s Word and expecting life to be ok will not work. The Bible warned us about these ways thousands of years ago. The way that seems right to man, taking shortcuts, no commitment, no real desire for God in our lives, the “I will have God when I want Him” attitude, is the wrong way… and it always ends in destruction.

 

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

 

     What is the right way? The right way is turning our lives over to God completely, and not holding anything back. It is opening the Bible daily and reading the instruction book to life. Additionally, the right way is by staying in touch with the manufacturer for any updates on the product He created, which is you. Remember if we follow the instructions, things go better.

 

So, What is the right way for you?

 

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this Passage, and today’s Devotion?

 

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

 

What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
