Proverbs - The Path of the Wicked

Proverbs 4:13-17

 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.

 Enter not into the path of the wicked,

 and go not in the way of evil men.

 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

For they sleep not, except they have done mischief;

and their sleep is taken away,

unless they cause some to fall.

For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.

                                             Stay Away from the Path of the Wicked         

                        We can tend to let go of basic instructions so we must ask the Lord to weave His truth into the fabric of our lives.

           

                        We should also be careful about getting involved with those who are not seeking the Lord.  The best thing we could do is to avoid any unnecessary dealings with conversations and activities that are contrary to our God.  We all deal with those who are not serving Jesus and their paths inevitably will cross ours.  We can then invite them to switch paths and join us, but we are not to enter their paths hoping we can backtrack and lead them to our own.  We must not be so self-confident as to think we can handle such slippery places.
