Yesterday the sermon was in Proverbs 4 and it was a discussion on "How not to get lost along the Way". The writer of Proverbs gave us 3 important points to remember about our journey in this life. First, he reminded and yelled at us to PAY ATTENTION to the Word of God and cherish it in our hearts like it is our first true love. Then the writer told us to guard our hearts, which is to guard our mouths, eyes, and feet and keep them safe for Jesus. Third, the writer told us that we should never turn off the path because that is idolatry and not actually following or loving Jesus.
My devotions this morning gave me another clue to not getting lost along the way, holiness. 2 Corinthians 7:1 says, "Let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God" (NLT). So if we are pursuing God and trying to be like Him in His holiness, we are preventing ourselves from getting lost along the way. As I reminded my faith family yesterday, to take our view and eyes off of Jesus, the one who laid out the path to follow, is committing spiritual suicide. We can praise the Lord, He helps and gives us the strength in our pursuit of holiness and our journey along the Way.
