As I read my proverb for the day, and sat down to feast on the wisdom I might find, my eyes brought me to the last two verses of Proverbs 4.  Verses 26 and 27 in essence tell me to pay attention to where my feet are trodding.

“Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all they ways be established.  Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.” -Proverbs 4:26

I like when the word “ponder” is used.  It tells me I am really to think about where my steps are taking me.  It tells me my daily walk is crucial to my becoming established later.  Then the last verse tells me to stay my course.  Meaning when I find out what I am supposed to be doing, then I am not to get sidetracked.  I am not to go off course, for danger awaits me there.

Man this is clear as day now, why didn’t I learn this earlier, or did I and I just didn’t pay attention.  What will you do?

Be wise.
