When you run a road or trail race, it is important to follow the race route. If you don’t you can get lost or you run the wrong course which could disqualify you. So, the path is important.
It is no different with God’s race. We’ve got to stay on God’s path.
Solomon gives us so good advice for staying on the path. He tells us to ponder or think about the path you are taking. Don’t just let your feet take you wherever they want. If you think about and carefully watch where you go, then your ways will be sure. Solomon’s advice about the path doesn’t stop there.
He continues:
Stop swerve to the right or left and turn your feet from evil. 👟👟👟
Solomon is warning us not to veer from the path of God. If you start to veer, your feet will take you the wrong way – toward evil.
God’s race route is so important. We’ve got to study it and carefully watch where we are running to make sure we don’t swerve or go the wrong direction. Studying God’s path will keep us from heading toward evil.
So, where is God’s race map found? The Scriptures. He has given us everything we need so we don’t get lost running His marathon – we’ve just got to make sure to ponder it and carefully follow it so we don’t run the wrong map and end up being disqualified. #runningtherace
