In the journey of life, it's easy to feel lost when we rush without reflection or put too much trust in our own perceptions. Proverbs 14:12 warns us that some paths seem right but lead to destruction. Reflecting on our desires and actions with wisdom is essential. We should seek God’s guidance, as noted in Proverbs 23, and embrace patience, as 2 Peter 3:9 teaches us. Admitting when we're wrong can be painful, but it’s a necessary step toward growth. Let’s commit ourselves to wise paths, avoiding the allure of hasty decisions and misguided confidence.

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.
1. I get lost when I rush ahead without reflection. Proverbs 19:2 Desire without knowledge is not good— how much more will hasty feet miss the way!
2. I place too much confidencein my own perceptions. Proverbs 26:12 Do you see a person wise in their own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for them.
3. I permit myself to be pulled away. Proverbs 23:17-19 Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord. There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. Listen, my son, and be wise, and set your heart on the right path:
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
4. I refuse to rely on the insightof others. Proverbs15:12 Mockers resent correction, so they avoid the wise.
5. Most of the time when I admit I’m on the wrong path, I have to take a loss.
