A WAY THAT SEEMS RIGHT

Date : Jan 01, 2000
Passage : Proverbs 14:1~35
Keyverse : 12


1. There is a way that seems right (1-15)

Often, the way that seemed so right leads to death (12). Many proverbs in this chapter are about the foolishness of following one's own feelings or calculations. The woman who foolishly tears down her own house by her jealousy or nagging may think she is right. The mocker who seeks wisdom finds none because of his sarcasm (6). The unfaithful man thinks he is clever, but he will be fully repaid for all his ways; the good man will be rewarded for his.

2. The man whose walk is upright (16-35)

The man who fears the Lord walks uprightly; he has a secure fortress. To fear the Lord means to walk before God rather than before men. To fear the Lord is to honor and serve him. One who fears the Lord has a heart at peace (30). He does not envy anyone. One who fears the Lord is kind to the needy (31). Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin disgraces and destroys a people (34). To fear the Lord is the way that is right. This is the way of life (27).

Application: Lord, help me to fear and love and obey you and follow your word.
One Word: Fear the Lord; walk before him
