"Let your eyes look straight ahead, and your eyelids look right before you.
Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established.
Do not turn to the right or the left; remove your foot from evil."
Proverbs 4:25-27 (NKJV)
There is something that I have seen happen several times while driving in the USA, but it is something I do not think I have ever seen while driving in Europe. Sometimes, in the USA, I have seen someone quickly cross over one or two lanes to try to get to an exit or into another lane that they should have already been in, or that they realized at the last minute they should have been in. This is something that is very dangerous, and it shows the need to be sure that we are in the right lane at all times, so we do not have to make a last-second lane change.
We are all going somewhere in our life, at least figuratively speaking, and it is very important that we are going in the right direction. Just like following some road, if we are in the wrong lane in life we can have problems. If we are doing things in our life that are negative and harmful to ourselves and others, we need to "change lanes," but we should not wait until the last moment to do so. We need to pay attention to the things we are doing and what is happening in our life, to be sure we are on the right course, so we do not have to make any last-minute changes to avoid problems.
Proverbs 4 talks about the need to stay on the right path, to focus on what is ahead of us, and not get off course. People can be in such a hurry in their life that they do not take the time to consider if what they are doing is really what they should be doing, and they tend to try and make last minute radical changes in an attempt to get to where they should have been all along. God will guide us through His Word and by the leading of the Holy Spirit so that we can be sure we are on the right path in every area of our life, avoiding last minute lane changes, and following God's plan.
