"Let your eyes look directly ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet; then all your ways will be sure.”Proverbs 4:25-26

In a world filled with distractions and temptations, choosing the path of wisdom that honors God is essential to living a righteous life with integrity and purpose.

Proverbs 4:25-26 speaks to the intentional nature of a righteous life.  It's not a matter of chance, but a conscious choice guided by God's wisdom and a heart seeking His guidance.  It calls us to actively focus our gaze and carefully consider each step, ensuring our path remains aligned with God's will.
