The Highway
Proverbs 16:17
The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserves his soul.
Today's verse talks about the highway of the upright - these are those who follow JESUS where ever He leads them - this is the high way - those who do evil are taking the low road - the world in which we now live has taken a new low - what once was bad is now not considered "that bad" I have to say right here that God's view of sin has not changed! Sin is still sin in His book - we cannot make excuses for our sin with God - however if you have placed your trust in JESUS and have saving faith in HIM your sins are forgiven - and not only forgiven but forgotten -when God sees His own - He sees His Son - this is a hard concept - but it's true - I had a family memember speak to me the other day and they were totally honest about this very thing - about the fact that we cannot do anything to be right with God apart from His Son and His Death on the cross - we cannot be "Good enough" and we cannot do enough Good to outweight our sins -
it just does not work that way - sin must be taken to the cross - daily - we all fall short - today's verse talks about two roads - one of the righteous -and one of the wicked - they both lead some place - but note that's it's not our deeds that make us either righteous of unrighteous - it's what JESUS did by taking our sins and dying for them - we who know HIM are now free - this does mean that we sin just because we are forgiven - but that when we fall short and fall into sin - HE will forgive us on HIS merit alone -
we have nothing to do with it - so which road are you on?
