“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Proverbs 14:12).
This verse is so important that God has put it into His Word twice. See if you can find the other reference to it!
As I write this in January, 2023, I remember that last month (December, 2022) on the same highway here in Ontario, Canada, but on different days, two cars tried to travel on the wrong side of the road. Highway 401 is a divided highway, so there was really no excuse for either driver to end up going the wrong way. Both cars ended up in a head-on collision with another vehicle, and in the accidents, people were both killed and injured. Those drivers probably thought that they were going the right way, but it literally was a way of death.
Both were awful accidents, but there are many people in this world who are doing the same thing spiritually. Instead of believing God’s Word and trusting in the Lord Jesus for their souls’ salvation, they are going their own way, thinking that everything will be all right. But those who trust their own thoughts will find that it is indeed a way of death, for eternal life can be found only in the Lord Jesus.
