Proverbs 16:17
The
highway of the upright is to depart from evil:
he
that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
A highway is a road that is designed
for travel away from day to day life with the least amount of interruptions as
possible. The highway of the upright is
to depart from evil. When we are tempted
or are exposed to that which God considers evil, our highway is to make a
decision and depart from it. We don’t
need to analyze it, consider it, explore it or understand it. Rather, we must depart from it. Turn off that television. Get in that car and go. Walk out of the room. As we spend our days guarding our ways, we
will preserve our soul. Our soul
includes our emotions and intellect.
When we watch where we are going, we will not have to deal with
unnecessary decay and corruption to our hearts or our minds. Lord, use Your word today to light our
highway and may Your Holy Spirit show us how to guard our ways.
