Proverbs - Walking in a Good Way

Proverbs 2:20-22

That thou mayest walk in the way of good men,

and keep the paths of the righteous.

For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.

But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth,

and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

                    The Lord desires us to walk in a good way.  He wants us to have friends and companions that are vessels of His love and faithfulness in our lives.  He wants us to be challenged by those around us and stirred up to run the race even more steadfastly than ever before.

                    We must be searched and desire to walk in an upright manner, a manner that is built upon the revealed Word of God and without confusion and other sources that contradict those things that make a life sure-footed.

                    No one will get away with anything.  We are told in Gal 6:9, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”  We take our orders from our Creator and Maker and just as a farmer waits for the harvest, confident seed is taking root even when he doesn’t see anything above ground, we, too, continue steadfast in making choices based on the wisdom the Lord gives knowing a harvest will come as well.
