Ponder The Path Of Your Feet

Proverbs 4:26~Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure.
Just by simply living in the midst of my family, I am learning more and more that some people are natural thinkers, and some are lazy. There are six of us in my family. Two are too young to know what kind of thinker they are, two are natural thinkers, and two are lazy thinkers. I am one of the ones that is in the lazy thinker camp.

If I look down at my feet and see that they are standing on a path, it does not come naturally for me to do any pondering about the path at all. It comes even less naturally for me to ponder where the path leads. I do not like this about myself. And I very much like that some of my family does have this quality about them. You may find it odd that I would consider myself a lazy thinker. This will be the 147th day in a row that I have written a post, and much of what I have written is pondering foot paths. But know that for me to ponder something takes effort and purpose. I do not, by default sit around and think, I mostly veg.

I see that not "all of my ways are sure." Probably because I have been lazy in "pondering the path of my feet." I confessed this as sin last night to my family, and have asked God's help to become a less lazy thinker, and more of a path ponderer.
