Proverbs 5:21 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

"For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, And He ponders all his paths." (Proverbs 5:21 NKJV)

He assures us - He has our back covered. Even in our stubbornness, going our way apart from His path for us. During those 'near-misses' and 'brush-off with disasters' by His mercy He saved us. But we can't go on insisting to do our will against His. Yes, He gave us free will. And as He is just, He can't take it back to force His will on us.

But, there are grave consequences for doing things against His will and His commands. His way leads to life. Any other way leads to death. And, we cannot hide from God. He knows our every move. He even knows the desires of our heart. God thinks about (ponders) all the ways of man. In mercy He withholds immediate judgment, allowing those who sin time to repent. But, time is running out for man to be caught up in his own sin. It pains Him seeing where we're headed. 

So, let's surrender our will to Him and let His will be done. He is calling us to walk in His commandments with promises. It is written - "And I command you today: Love God, your God. Walk in his ways. Keep his commandments, regulations, and rules so that you will live, really live, live exuberantly, blessed by God, your God, in the land you are about to enter and possess. (Deuteronomy 30:16 MSG)


And I say, AMEN!
