Proverbs 3:5-7
Someone has defined "directions" as “that which
men hate to ask for and that which women delight in giving.” Over the years
people have come up with directional catch phrases--- some right, some wrong,
and some down-right impossible from a true Biblical standpoint.
I. IMPOSSIBLE
DIRECTIONS
1. "Get lost!"
This is impossible from a spiritual standpoint. You are
either already lost [2 Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to
them that are lost:]
Or you once were lost, but you are now saved, and can never
be lost again [1 Jn. 5:10-13]
2. "You can't get there from here!"
[Mt. 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With
men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.]
3. "Go back where you came from"
-Jn. 3:3-7 Nicodemus asked Jesus about this knowing it
wasn't possible.
-"You cannot change the past, but you can ruin a
perfectly good future by dwelling on it!"
-Remember, F.I.D.O.? “Forget
It & Drive On!”
-Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have
apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind,
and reaching forth unto those things which are before
II. WRONG DIRECTIONS
1. "Go to Blazes" [Lk. 16:22b-31]
2. The So-called Road To Pleasure [Pr. 7:10-27]
3. The Way That Seems Right [Proverbs 14:12]
There is a way which
seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
III. RIGHT DIRECTIONS
1. The Way of Preparation [Amos. 4:12-23]
2. The Way of Truth & Life [Jn. 14:6]
3. The Way of Word of God [Isaiah 30:21]
And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This
is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to
the left.
