#throwbackpoem: Staying On the Righteous Path

to GOD be the GLORY

~ Staying On the Righteous Path ~

By Deborah Ann

I’ve traveled many roads,
much to my dismay . . .
I walked along the path
of sin and decay.

I’ve climbed over mountains,
in my own egotistical pride
I walked in valley’s deep
with conceit as my guide.

But, I grew so very weary,
on the pathway’s of leeway
and the latitude I gave myself
on my soul began to weigh.

So, I began a new journey,
one that was Spirit lead
and now all the other routes
fill me with fear and dread.

For in God’s Word,
I discovered the path
guaranteed to keep me
from knowing God’s wrath!

Proverbs 2:20

“That thou mayest walk
in the way of good men,
and keep the paths
of the righteous.”
