Personal Evaluation Part 4

"Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established. 27 Do not turn to the right or left; remove your foot from evil."   Proverbs 4:26-27  NKJV

MAKE SURE YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT PATH!

Warren W Wiersbe writes:

'The Lord is weighing our ways (Proverbs 5:21) and our hearts (21:2), as well as our actions (1 Sam 2;3) and we had better do the same. Life is too short and too precious to be wasted on the temporary and the trivial. If we're walking in the way of wisdom, God promises to protect our plans, direct our paths and perfect our paths.'

The Lord wants us to examine ourselves and to know ourselves more and more. It is time to lose the pretence; it is time for fact - the fact that we know Jesus Christ lives within us and we need to live accordingly. Time is short, we just don't know the hour when Jesus may return. We don't even know the hour that we will cease to live here on earth. Things can happen in the blink of an eye. Therefore, we must be ready, standing 

firm in the knowledge that Jesus is our Lord and Saviour.

The question must be asked, 'Where are you going to? If your answer is that you're heaven bound, then you have chosen the path Jesus is on and He will happily direct you. But if you're not sure, then there is a decision to be made. If you have asked Jesus into your life, then this is the way you have chosen to go. If you haven't chosen Him then, you need to do something about this and quickly. Jesus is coming soon.

Today's text tells us not to turn to the right or the left, as we walk with Jesus, on the right path. Isaiah 30:21 tells us: 'Your ears shall hear a word behind you saying, "This is the way, walk in it." Whenever you turn to the right hand or, whenever you turn to the left.' Do you get that? As we put Jesus in charge of us, He has the Sat Nav - the Holy Spirit, who will guide us along the right path.

Jesus' way is foolproof but, it can be difficult. There are many mountains that you will have to negotiate; many troubles or battles to face and there may be a few upsets as well. But, it is all worth it, you will find this out one day when He calls you before Him and greets you. Have you ever considered that you will meet Jesus Christ face to face? Because, if you take the right path - the way of Jesus, it is certain that you will.

Until then, Keep going; you are doing ok and making good progress. Don't let anyone tell you different.

If you don't know Jesus or have fell away, here is a prayer for you:

'Lord Jesus, I have sinned and I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.

In Jesus' Name. Amen'
