“There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” Proverbs 14:12
Today’s Verse, and its twin, 16:25, describe a common temptation of all humanity; that “I KNOW”! From the Seasoned Saint to the most ungodly of Sinners, we are all subject to our pride that insists, “Our Way is Best”! Regardless of the Voices that shout out warnings, we insist on continuing toward the Cliff, assured that we know what we’re doing; But We Don’t!!!
So what’s the Solution? Well, God Knows the “right way”, whether it be a choice between two lawnmowers, or a Road we think leads to Heaven but instead leads to Hell! We need to pray to this God “that knows”, and we need to read His Word. There, He outlines “everything” we need to know when making a choice about what may prevent “a way that seems right” from happening!
