Proverbs 4:25, 26 Let thine eyes look right on and let thy eyelids look straight before thee.  26 Ponder the path of thy feet and let all they ways be established.

Life is about choices.  Good choices. Bad choices.  And the consequences of those choices that give direction to the path we walk on this journey of life.  I am reminded that it’s good to have direction.  It’s good to have goals.  I’m a short term gratification kind of gal.  A To Do list works well, and I don’t erase an thing, because I like to look at the tasks crossed off.  That shows progress.  And, above all else, I like to know I’m making progress.  Don’t you?

This Scripture from Proverbs gives good instruction about a To Do list that is far superior to my daily list which pales in comparison.  Let your eyes look right on, straight before you…..now, ponder this.   In order to have direction you have to set your eyes in the direction you want to go. That might be called a goal.  Many years ago, I chose to make Jesus my Savior.  I was assured of my place in Eternity with Him at that moment when I realized I needed Him to pay my sin debt.  Since then I have learned….by godly wisdom and knowledge…it’s not enough to know I’m saved from eternal separation from God.  I had to grow into those “shoes” that walk the path, setting my eyes in the direction of honoring and glorifying Him.  It isn’t enough just to be rescued from the penalty of sin.  The next clear decision to be made is to make Christ not only my Savior, but, to make Him my Life.  To let Him refine my goals daily to accomplish His purpose in me and through me is at the top of my To Do list for every day.  And in doing so, I Ponder my Path, are my eyes focused on giving Him honor and glory?  Are my feet positioned to walk straight in His path, where He wants me to be, in the direction He wants me to go?  Am I leading well?  And am I following Him, letting Him have full permission to take me where He wants me to go today, to minister to those He has in my path, with His wisdom and grace?  And am I letting Him establish my way?  Establish…implant, entrench, ground root…..words to describe a solid foundation, to be found in Pondering the Path.
