Meditations From The Psalms, Part 7

"I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies." - Psalm 119:59

How often do we think about our ways? The term "way" is very significant in Scripture as it applies to journey and destination. "…but the way of transgressors is hard" (Proverbs 18:15). "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death" (Proverbs 14:23). We must consider our ways and see if they live up to the ways of God. Do you sense that you may be in the way of sinners, as Psalm 1 instructs us against? What corrections need to be made to be in the right way? Conscience, Scripture, and the Holy Spirit work well together in letting us know if we are off track. That's the way I see things.
