Proverbs 16: 17
The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.Today's Thought: God preserves the upright in heart and destroy the evil.
When I was still away from the Lord, I had lot of drunkard and drug addict friends, for I was one myself. Right now, I realized the road I formerly trod. It was a road of destruction, a big highway. Not only for the destruction of soul who is hindered from believing the gospel, but also the highway of destruction of the body.
Too much beers and booze caused chirossis of the liver. In fact, right now I have friends who had been confined in the hospital due to some failure of the intestinal tract and the liver. It is a highway of destruction.
Too much cigarettes caused decay of the lungs. Little by little, cigarettes burned tissues of the lungs. If my friends won’t amend their ways, I will find them in hospital beds gasping for air. It was a painful process. It is the highway of destruction.
Illegal drugs caused disorder of the mental capacity and health. I was agitated and I didn’t have the mental uprightness to think straight. Some of my friends are still walking in the highway of destruction.
Week upon week I would tell them about Jesus and invite them to church. I don’t know when, but I know God answers prayers, that my friends will take the highway of salvation – and not of destruction.
