I have continued to meditate on Psalm 119:30. It is a template for decisiveness and implementation. I have chosen. I have laid. The decision to do something proactive was made. Then the steps to succeed were set in place.

Here is an example. During the pandemic tempers flared. It was easy to get caught up in fleshly reactions. However, when we lay God’s word as pavers before us, we have a clear path to walk in His righteousness.

James 1:20 clearly states, “For the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.” Proverbs 29:11 Amplified says, “A (self-confident) fool utters all his anger, but a wise man holds it back and stills it.”

Ephesians 4:26-27 is an essential paver. It says, “Be angry, and do not sin: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil.” The enemy of our soul loves to stir up strife, quarrels, harsh words, and spewed angry threats. When we have our ‘pavers’ laid down in front of us, we will not allow any opportunity for fleshly retaliations.
