Daily Wisdom

... by the words of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.” Psa 17:4


The reference in David’s prayer is doubtless to the promises which God had spoken, finding encouragement he submitted his hope and faith to them. God had preserved and guarded David from even his own conduct, preventing him from falling into sins common to men and by directing his paths led him from his potential destroyers. That which must be guarded and directed is one’s heart (Pro 4:23), it is accomplished when you allow your heart to work as a compass and God’s word as a magnet pointing you in the right direction. And if you’re willing to acknowledge and follow his direction, he’ll make your paths straight (Pro 3:6).  Finding yourself lost and life out of control should offer clarity that you’re not the one in control anyway.  You may have to travel dirt roads for God to get you where he wants you, but keep traveling them and I promise you they’ll eventually lead to golden ones.


God’s timing to get you where you belong depends on when you’re willing take the first step.
