Proverbs 7:24-27

Heed the warning….

Part of the reason why Jesus is the way is because he loves all of us so much that He warns us of the traps that Satan will lay out for us to deceive us.

Proverbs 7:24-27

New International Version (NIV)

 “²⁴ Now then, my sons, listen to me;
   pay attention to what I say.
²⁵ Do not let your heart turn to her ways
   or stray into her paths.
²⁶ Many are the victims she has brought down;
   her slain are a mighty throng.
²⁷ Her house is a highway to the grave,
   leading down to the chambers of death.”

God tells us to beware of the ways of the evil one, Satan. Satan will try to misdirect us in order to get us off of God’s path for us in order for him to get us to follow his own path he created for us that only leads to our demise in the end. 

You can tell if you are on the right path, there are no grey areas, but it could appear as so when you are in the midst of it. One of the ways to tell if you are on the right path is if the things in your life, that’s positive, start to flourish, you are being blessed without you having to bend over backwards to get it, you have favor with people or businesses when you don’t have the qualifications that proves you should receive those things and so on. 

An indication that you are not on the right path is just the opposite, things that should be going right aren’t going right, you stay stuck in the same place and have a difficult time progressing; sometimes Satan can trick you thinking you are doing something right by giving you an opportunity to do something you like, but it ends up being more than you can handle, have issues with everyone around you or your finances get drained and so on.

There have been so many people both celebrities and non celebrities that have been brought down by the enemy and yet people attribute it to it being “their time” and the God was the one who made them die or suffer a horrible accident. Most of the time, it’s the people’s choices which directed their path towards the enemy which unfortunately resulted in their demise or downfall….but only Jesus can pick them back up again.
