FAITH CAPSULE: Take to the way (word) of God not the way that seems right to you.

Proverbs 16

Taking to one’s way is a way outside of God’s way. Man can be deceived but God cannot be deceived. What we say identifies who we are. Also, the way which we take points to where we are going. Often times, man’s action are directly rooted in what is said and the way which man take to. Are you a deceiver of man? God cannot be deceived. He cannot be mocked and He sees from where we are coming from to where we are going. “…For the LORD is the God of knowledge; And by Him actions are weighed.” (1 Samuel 2:3)
Which way are you taking? Any way outside the way of God is a way of self- destruction. God has His way and His ways are in His word; they are written in the pages of the Bible. It has not been documented of anyone that has taken to the way of God and ended up in destruction. It has been documented and it is evident that all who has taken to their own way ended up in destruction. It does not matter how long you have been walking outside of His way without self-destruction but it matters that you begin to take to the way of God and avoid self-destruction.
It is written in 1Samuel 2:9, “He will guard the feet of His saints, but the wicked shall be silent in darkness. For by strength no man shall prevail.”  When there is a will or desire to walk in His way, He will guide your feet to walk in His way.
Always take to the way of God and not the way that seems to be right. The word counsels, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” (Proverbs 16:25) The way that seems right is definitely outside of the way of God. No matter how far the way that seems right has taken you, today is time to turn to the way of God. Take to the way of God and God will take you beyond your expectation.
All that surrounds you can be deceived by virtue of the way that you are taking but God cannot be deceived. Proverbs 16: 2 buttress, “All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes; But the LORD weighs the spirits.” God wants to be pleased with how we walk in the way. Proverbs 16:7, “When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.” In the word of God is His way and He has given us His word. Take to the way (word) of God not the way that seems right to you.
