"Make straight paths for your feet." Hebrews 12:13

Surrounded as we are with a crooked generation, 
professing and profane, whose ways we are but too 
apt to learn; beset on every hand by temptations . . .
to turn aside into some crooked path,
to feed our pride,
to indulge our lusts, 
to gratify our covetousness;
blinded and seduced sometimes by the god of this world; 
hardened at other times by the deceitfulness of sin; here 
misled by the example, and there bewitched by the flattery 
of some friend or companion; at one time confused and 
bewildered in our judgment of right and wrong; at another 
time entangled, half resisting, half complying, in some 
snare of the wicked one; what a struggle have some of us 
had to make straight paths for our feet; and what pain 
and grief that we should ever have made crooked ones. 

"But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;
I had nearly lost my foothold." Psalm 73:2

When I said, "My foot is slipping," Your love, 
O Lord, supported me. Psalm 94:18

"He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the 
mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and 
gave me a firm place to stand." Psalm 40:2

"Hold me up, and I shall be safe!" Psalm 119:117

"I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead
you along straight paths." Proverbs 4:11
