April 10
Blindly moving forward is a potential recipe for disaster. Whether it’s a stormy night and your path is illumined only by the lightening or whether it’s a white out and you can’t see your hand in front of you, proceeding toward the destination you cannot see is dangerous and foolhardy.
Emotionally, that same truth holds. Someone you love shows himself to be uncaring, overbearing, untrustworthy—you name the character trait that sends up the red flag—yet you maintain your trust in that individual, knowing that further treachery must surely lie ahead for this star-crossed relationship.
Plodding forward in the darkness of foul weather or the foul presence of unaddressed human flaws will not lead to the desired destination but to disappointment and perhaps to destruction. The Word admonishes that we, “Carefully consider the path for your feet, and all your ways will be established” Proverbs 4:26.
The physical path we take must be lighted for our safety. The spiritual and emotional path we take must be illumined by the light and love and steadfastness of the Lord for our eternal well-being. Though a wrong turn on a treacherous road can lead to our injury or death, a wrong turn along the path of our heart’s journey through life can lead to our eternal destruction. Let Jesus be our Light!
