Proverbs - Walking Uprightly

Proverbs 28:18

Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved:

but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

Walking uprightly will result in being able to see where we are walking.  If we are walking with double standards and mixed motivations we will fall.  It is important that we know that our lives are not our own and we should be open before the Lord for His leading and purposes for our lives.  We shouldn’t lean on our own understanding and take paths motivated by our sinful nature.  We need to not be led by the lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eyes or the pride of life.  Walking uprightly means we are not keeping secrets or changing our directions based on a given influence.  We are walking as the Lord directs and we want to be corrected, led and in His perfect will for our lives.  This way we will be safe an not fall at once.
