90 Days of Wisdom: Day 47

The highway of the upright avoids evil;
he who guards his way guards his life.
(Proverbs 16:17)

The late country singer, Chris LeDeux, wrote a song, "Life is a Highway." This song was covered by Rascal Flats for the Disney movie "Cars." I have no idea what the words to this song are... but the tune is good... and the concept is biblical.

Just as heading down Main Street includes intersections and other opportunities to turn and go to different places, your life's highway is mingled with temptations to take a dark path. Temptation avenue intersects your Life Highway on a regular basis, and you must decide every day whether you will stay on the good road, or risk the bad one.

Here's the promise: the right road leads to a real life... the wrong road leads only to regret. Avoid the trappings of temptation. Keep your eyes fixed straight ahead of you... and continue on the road of a life worth living.
