Proverbs 16:25 (NKJV) 25 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
As people, we all have our own ideas as to how things should be done. Some of our ideas are based on what we’ve seen others do. Some of them are based on what has worked for us in the past.
But sometimes our ways just don’t work the way we think they should or the way we want them to. Sometimes they may look like they’re working. But if we were to compare our ways to God’s ways, we would see that His ways are much, much better!
Our ways, many times, can lead to death. Maybe not always actual physical death, but death in other ways, such as emotional trauma or spiritual perversion. Whereas God’s ways lead to life.
God sees things from a perspective that we can’t see most times. Because He is omniscient (all-knowing), there is no risk with God. He knows our own thoughts before we even think them and our words before we speak them!
Psalm 139:2-4 (NKJV) 2 You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. 3 You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
So if we are ever in doubt as to which way to choose, choose God’s way. His way leads to life.
