Peaceful Pathway
“In the way of righteousness is life, And in its pathway there is no death.” Proverbs 12:28 NKJV ‘All that glitters is not gold ’ says the adage on the essence of love, morality and uprightness in human relationships. Unfortunately, today’s culture does celebrate all that glitters, particularly at the expense of righteousness, integrity, and uprightness, as long as it promises material security, political relevance, and financial independence. Even in the assembly of God’s people, why is there little or no concern about the loss of peace and trust at every temptation to explore the path of unrighteousness? The same logic of the serpentine deception from the enemy “ You will not surely die” (Genesis 3:4) often holds sway against the peaceful pathway. Whereas, the peaceful pathway that pursues righteousness alone may attract delay, difficulties, and a temporal denial of all that glitters; it does definitely guarantee no death at all.
