What Am I Doing Here?
One of the stanzas of the children’s song, “O Be Careful Little Eyes,” says “O be careful little feet where you go.” Such teaches our little ones that there are places where one who loves the Lord should not go. Solomon realized that one must carefully consider where he goes for he gave strong exhortation to his son concerning such. Notice Proverbs 4.26, 27, “Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil.” A life of integrity requires that we pay attention to our heart, our speech, our eyes, our conduct, and even our feet. We must set our feet forth on the course that leads to heaven above and be sure that we do not veer to the right or to the left. When you “ponder the path of your feet,” you contemplate, you mentally weigh heavily the life you are choosing to lead. Jesus said that few find the path that leads to eternal life; but there are many who choose the path that leads to destruction (Matthew 7.13, 14). Thus, we must carefully lay out the path of righteousness before us, and pay close attention to where our feet are headed, lest they lead us in a direction where we will be filled with tremendous sorrow and woe.
