DO THE RIGHT THING THE RIGHT WAY

Proverbs 16:25

There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death.

Have you ever tried doing the right thing the wrong way? For that matter, how would you even know if you were choosing the right way to do something if you were unfamiliar with what you were dealing with? The best of intentions are usually at the heart of our decisions, but even with the best of intentions the results could end up being wrong. In 1912, one of the builders of the Titanic publicly said, “God Himself could not sink this ship.” Naively, the general public would go on to believe that the Titanic was actually unsinkable and upon the Titanic's very first journey the captain had to give the order to abandon ship. 1,515 people perished that day on a ship deemed unsinkable by man. Ultimately, we ought not boast about the things we do and we really have to acknowledge that man's overall capabilities are limited. Focus your efforts on doing the right things in the right ways. The best way to do this is to begin by seeking the will of our all-knowing God for your life and then to read His Holy Word for all the guidance you'll ever need.
