17 Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life,
but whoever ignores correction leads others astray. Proverbs 10:17
How many of you begin your day saying, I am going to do things the right way today. Then as the day goes along, people upset you and give you pause to wonder what you can do to avoid them altogether. As the day progresses, instead of doing the right thing, do you start to "move away from that which is right?" Do you see yourself "moving into error, confusion, or an undesirable action or thought?" The dictionary defines Astray in this way and their are some other ways to look at this. Deviating, wandering or roaming away from the correct path is so easy to do, even if you think you have the discipline to stay on the right path. Throughout all these things, we can still discipline ourselves to not stray from the path but to correct our own path through guidance from our Lord and Savior. We cannot ignore the correction people might provide us, and we certainly cannot ignore God's guiding hand. Don't be led astray but practice discipline to stay on the right path.
Have a great weekend.
