So ponder the path you've chosen for your feet.

I need direction for so many things right now.

As father and husband. As Mission Board chairman. As a School Board member. As a church member. As a businessman. As a potential short-term missionary. As a potential teacher. As a friend.

I need to know the right path.

And I need lots and lots of light.

This morning I feel subdued and dark. And in the dark. And certainly uncertain.

Also this morning, I read this verse:

“But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18).

The enemy scoffs, “No light obviously means you’re not just.”

Nevetheless, I find comfort and hope and encouragement in that verse.

Proverbs 4:1-13

Some people want to have a life.

Others want to live it up.

Almost everybody wants to experience real livin’.

Whether or not they know it, everyone needs purpose for living.

Well, put me down for all four of the above.

Maybe that’s why I’m drawn to these three verse fragments in today’s passage:

“Keep my commandments, and live” (4).

“Receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many” (10).

“Keep her; for she is thy life” (13).

I choose wisdom.

I choose obedience.

I choose living.

I choose life.

[Love her, and she shall keep thee (Proverbs 4:6)]
