LET’S STRAIGHTEN OUR PATHS

Psalms 5:5

The *foolish shall not stand in Thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of *iniquity.

This prophetic statement is a good follow up of the preceding verse, and one of the building blocks of our faith. No matter what foolish puny man invents, no matter what he does or says in his attempts to justify his actions, we have the assurance of the outcome in ‘grand finale’. In the day when God will be ready to shake the earth and audit the ‘accounts’ of man (Matthew 25:19), none of his card castles will stand, his digital illusions of truth wealth will vanish.

The world has been given a little more time before the day of the great judgment when everyone’s work is put to the great test. We know that on that great day, the darkness of foolish, unrepentant and arrogant hearts will be unable to stand before the brightness of the Spirit of God.

Our verse today stands like John the Baptist by the waters of Jordan as a warning to check our hearts, to repent and make straight our paths. We need to rid ourselves of froth, vanity, pride, unyieldedness, arrogance and of the time-wasters in our lives. We do this so that when He comes, He finds us doing the work of the Father, and He can say: Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.Matthew 25:34-35
