Ponder The Path Of Thy Feet
Dan Rodgers
Proverbs 4:25-27
TEXT: Proverbs 4:25-27, "Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. [26] Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. [27] Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil."
ILLUS: When I was a little boy, living in Port Chicago, I used to walk the railroad tracks. It was kind of fun just to see how long you could stay on the track before falling off—the track was very narrow, and though easy to get on, it was also easy to fall off.
When you think about it, the path of life is much like that—especially for the Christian. God has a path all mapped out for us. He put us on that path the day we got saved. Psalm 37:23 says, "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way."
Now here's the point: just as easy as it is to fall off a railroad track, it is just as easy to get off the path God has set for us. And let me add; the path God has for us is a path of pleasure and joy. It's where we want to be. Proverbs 4:18 says, "But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." Here's what this verse means: The perfect day refers to the day of Christ—to the day of His return. Philip. 1:6 says, "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." Then, again, the words: "The path of the just is as a shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." The closer we get to the return of Christ, the brighter this path becomes.
Now, let's come to our message; "Ponder the Path of Thy Feet." Three things:
I. Enter the Path of Righteousness
II. Follow the Path of Assuredness
III. Avoid the Path of Darkness
I. ENTER THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
Proverbs 12:28 says, "In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is ...
