Proverbs 4:26 Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established. The wise man joins the feet unto the eyes, intimating that our actions should be weighed, as well as our thoughts, words, and looks. I. WE MUST BEFOREHAND ORDER ALL WELL THAT WE GO ABOUT. 1. Lest we show our folly to all men by our indiscreet actions. 2. Lest we run ourselves into danger. 3. Because our actions are dangerous as well as our thoughts, looks, and words; and these were all to be ordered. Bring all your actions to the touchstone before you do them. Weigh them in a just balance. II. THE MEANEST MEMBERS OF THE BODY MUST BE WELL-ORDERED. The foot is lowest, yet must not be left at liberty to go where it will. 1. Because the meanest members are of necessary use. 2. Because they, being disordered, bring much hurt. III. ENDEAVOUR TO ACT SURELY IN WHAT YOU DO. Show your wisdom by your sure and just acting according to God's Word, and it will stand. (Francis Taylor, B.D.)
