“The way of the Lord is a refuge for the blameless, but it is the ruin of those who do evil.” Proverbs 10:29 NIV
Proverbs is a book of the Bible that is filled with wisdom. This verse found in the 10th chapter is no different. It tells us when we focus on the Lord, listen to His direction in how we should live our lives, we are able to find refuge in Him.
The opposite is true as well, when we decide we are not going to listen to God’s direction for our lives, we can not expect to be able to go to Him for protection. Our sinful nature sometimes makes it hard for us to listen for God’s voice and then follow His lead. However, following our own way, making choices that are not in line with God’s will for our lives, only leads to ruin.
Which way do you want to choose….refuge or ruin?
