Consider Your Ways

By D. ALONZO BRIGGS

D. ALONZO BRIGGS
It is our duty as Christians to endeavor to make the way of the Lord our way. He has promised to give his children one heart and one mind. It is also important to ascertain whether our feet are traveling in the path of the just, which “shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” Let each of us examine his own heart to see whether he is drifting downward with the world, or building permanently upon the solid rock, which is Christ.
God sees us and understands all the thoughts and intents of the heart. There is nothing hidden from the Creator, whether it be good or evil. Solomon said, “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes;” but it is not so in the sight of the all-wise Being “with whom we have to do.”
Paul, the great apostle to the Gentiles, after delivering some of the wonderful truths of the gospel, said, “Think on these things,” that is, consider if your ways conform to these essential facts.
Why should we not at the close of each day “take stock” as to our spiritual standing with Him who is the judge of the quick and the dead? All must give an account on the day of judgment for every idle word and evil thought. How important to consider our ways and learn if we are in the faith! A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither a corrupt tree good fruit. The Lord preserveth the ways of his saints, because they are right ways. Are you thinking with care on your eternal welfare? If not, begin now, in order to be found spotless when Jesus comes.
