The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
The way of the righteous is made plain and clear. It is plain because God Himself guides and teaches the righteous where to go. Therefore believers can walk in the light without guessing or speculating about important matters, including how to understand claims about peace. When unsure which course is right, the plain path is found by asking God for guidance in prayer and by using the judgment He has given.
Such guidance does not require a voice or a dream, and where a command makes duty clear, to hesitate is rebellion. Prayer must not be turned into an excuse for slothful inaction, nor used to seek approval after willfully deciding what to do. God's guidance in this plain way gives courage, hope, and peaceful confidence through temptation, sin, and the journey toward the promised land.
