A short blog today. One obvious way to Draw Near is to read the Bible. I’ve decided to start the New Year by reading through the book of Proverbs. There are 31 Proverbs, so one per day will take me through the month. I’m reading in the New Living Translation to get a fresh perspective on it. (I usually read in NIV).
Proverbs 4:25-27
Look straight ahead,
and fix your eyes on what lies before you.
Mark out a straight path for your feet;
stay on the safe path.
Don’t get sidetracked;
keep your feet from following evil
I’m encouraged by this passage to have a plan and stick to it. I’m also reminded of the passage in Romans that says, “Overcome evil with good.” (Romans 12:21)
If I keep my mind on what the Lord is teaching me and where He is leading me, I can keep from getting sidetracked.
I’ll endeavor to stay in the Word!
Bob
