Often our feet take us to places we should not go and we get into trouble. The Bible tells us to “ponder the path of thy feet” (Proverbs 4:26) - that means consider well where we want to go. Is the path we are walking on leading to danger? It speaks of those that have “feet that be swift in running to mischief” (Proverbs 6:18). Obeying the Scriptures would lead us “in the paths of righteousness” (Psalm 23:3). Walking on these paths, many sorrows and difficulties are avoided. Often, we had to say, “I should not have gone there; I only got into trouble.”
Feet are remarkable members of the body. However, they can only take us where we want to go. We are responsible for our actions. God holds us accountable for what we do and where we go. When we pray, here is a verse to remember: “Show me Thy ways, O Lord; teach me Thy paths” (Psalm 25:4). If we are sincere, He will keep our feet from slipping and hold us up (Psalm 94:18). “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation” (Isaiah 52:7). The Lord Jesus did this. We can do the same (see Romans 10:15).
