The Narrow walk

I listened to a teacher one time who said, "eventually you come to the conclusion that it is just plain stupid to live in sin. Even if I were not a Christian, I'd follow the walk because it's the best way to live."

The more I read scripture, especially the ones in Proverbs and Psalms, the more truth I see in that statement. The actions of our lives and the fruits of our lips reap a result.
In Psalms we get a clue into God's heart and how He loves us. In Proverbs we get a sharp view on how to live with our fellow man. What wisdom.

A few examples for us to ponder
Proverbs 16: 7,5,17,18,24,32
Proverbs 14: 3,4,7,14,15,30
Proverbs 12:3, 12,14
Psalms 128
Psalms 32
It's all about how much God loves us, realizing this and acting accordingly. What we say, think, feel and do affects our lives directly. Like the one in Psalms 128 that says we will eat the fruit of our deeds or in Proverbs 12:14 that indicates we will eat the fruit of our lips. A continual feast is before us, a feast of wisdom that will lead us into not only an abundant life but peace. Something we all need in a world that has never been at peace. Enjoy!
Thank you Lord for your word. Keep us on the straight and narrow road of abundant life in You.
