THE WAY THAT SEEMS RIGHT
Proverbs 14:12 KJV
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death”.
Man is made of spirit, soul and body. And each time, one of these three sides of man wants to take the lead from time to time. When faced with difficult situations in our lives, we must be sensitive to know which side of us is speaking per time. The spirit wants to speak and take the lead, and even the soul or your emotions would want to take the lead from time to time as well. But the Bible says there is a way that seems right to a man, but the end of it are the ways of death.
Note that the scripture didn’t say the ways seems good, because it is actually a good way most of the times. But the scripture says the way seems right. There may be many good ways but there is a way that is right for you. God doesn’t just lead you in the good way, but in the right way. The way that is tailor-made for you. The good way may be right for your friend, but not for you. So, you have to be careful how you copy and follow people’s experiences. God has a custom made, tailor-fit and uniquely sized experience that is just right for you.
The way to connect with that plan of God for your life is to go pass the flesh and go pass the soul or emotions and reach down to your spirit to discern what it is the Spirit of God may be saying to you and leading you to. There are two ways to ascertain that leading of the Holy Spirit in your life. The first way is by the peace of God in your heart and spirit. Whatever does not give you peace is not of God. The second way is to find out how that move or leading aligns with the word of God. If the word of God does not back it up, then it is not of God. Any other way is a way that may seem right, but not right.
Receive grace to discern God’s will for your life each time in Jesus Name.
Action Points/ Prayer
-Lord, please cause me to know the difference between the voice of my flesh and the voice of my spirit and soul in Jesus Name.
-Father, please enable my spirit to discern the right way from a good way in Jesus Name.

Nugget
God doesn’t just lead you in the good way, but in the right way. The way that is tailor-made for you.
