The path


At church we have been talking about the pathway principle which basically means that the pathway that we are on determines our destination in life. Not our intentions, not our dreams, not even our faith but the pathway. Your direction determines your destination!
It doesn't matter how much we jump shout and pray if we are walking on a certain path then we will end up at a certain destination. How many people do we know that come yo a place in their lives where they say, "I don't know how I got here?" Well I know, they jumped on a pathway and that's the direction it was going.

Proverbs 22:3 (NLT)
A prudent person foresees the danger ahead and takes precautions; the simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.


A wise person can see the danger ahead and they will make the adjustments that are needed in order to avoid tragedy but a fool they will just keep walking straight on into it. And when you say to them, "Didn't you see that coming?" "Didn't you know that she was no good for you?" "Couldn't you see this was going to happen?" They just answer, "Well yeah".
But they never changed. They never made the changes that were strategic to their future health and wholeness.
Lets be people that look ahead but don't stop there, also to make the necessary adjustments so that we can be fruitful in all we do.
