Watch Your Step
Scripture Reading: Proverbs 4:26
Ponder the path of your feet, then all your ways will be sure.
The exhortation here is simple: don’t just willy-nilly wander through life without any thought to what, why, or how you are doing things. The English Standard Version quoted above uses the word “Ponder.” It means to think about what you are doing and where you are going. Watch where you are stepping. The blessed result of adhering to that advice is that you will walk on solid ground.
In Proverbs, wisdom is viewed as both the way and goal of life. It is how we get where we are going and the place we should be striving to arrive at.
