FAITH CAPSULE: Take to the way of God and God will take you beyond your expectation.

Proverbs 16

It does not matter how long you have been taking to your ways but it is true and certain that the way of God cannot be wrong. The way of man cannot be compared to the ways of God. In the way of God there is life but in the way man there is death. Proverbs 16:25 buttress, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” God cannot be mocked and He sees from where we are coming from to where we are going. Which way are you going? Any way outside of the way of God is a way into self- destruction. God has His way and His ways are in His word. The way of God is written in the pages of the Bible.

God cannot be deceived neither can He be mocked as regard to the way man engages the journey of life. Also, it is impossible to take to the way of God and end up in destruction. It is evident that all who has taken to their own ways ended up in destruction. When there is a desire to walk in His way, He will deposit the grace that it takes to walk and not be weary and to walk and not fail. I Samuel 2:9 recorded, “He will guard the feet of His saints, but the wicked shall be silent in darkness. For by strength no man shall prevail.” As an acclaimed believer, have you considered which way you are taking as your engage the journey of life?

There are so many ways that seems right but not all leads to life. The ways that seems right to man are outside of the way of God. Take to the way of God and God will take you beyond your expectation. He is a faithful God. A time of self- examination is not a time of self-deception, give yourself self-examination and avoid self-destruction. The book of Proverbs 16:2 stated, “All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the spirits.” Will you be sincere with yourself and let God redirect your steps into His way? God wants to be pleased with how we walk in the way. Proverbs 16:7 admonished us, “When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.” The Lord God has spoken and it is left for man to listen. Take to the ways of God and you shall never fail.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to walk in His ways and not depart from His ways all the days of your life.
