Follow and Find

Proverbs 21:21

God wants us to learn an important lesson: what we follow determines what we find. This sounds very simple, but unfortunately many people don’t understand its truth. The will of God and a life of sin or polar opposites; you can’t follow one and find the other. If you follow after sin, you are guaranteed to discover pain, heartache, and destruction. But if you follow after righteousness, Proverbs promises you will find life and honor. Sadly, many people continue to follow the path of their own choosing. In error, they believe it will bring them to their desired destination. The path you choose today will determine the place you end up. Your direction determines your destination. So today, choose life. Choose mercy. Choose honor. All of these are found along the path of righteousness.
