Proverbs 10:9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely; but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
Did you know there is no good reason for you to walk around looking over your shoulder to see who may be looking? That is of course, unless you have something to be unsure about, like untruth, deception, or impropriety that you are hiding. The smart way to live, Solomon says, is to be truthful and righteous (live rightly) at all times and you can live a life of real freedom, a life of confidence. I have found that when one is in secret sin, there is a difference in their countenance and behavior. They lack confidence. The funny thing is you/they think the secret has remained a secret, but the Bible is clear that ultimately that "secret" will be revealed.
As a driver that has enjoyed an added measure of speed at times, I have developed a "sixth sense" to detect police officers. I would like to say that I no longer need that, but I haven't arrived. Don't judge. Anyway, how many of you have been driving along, minding your own business and look in your rear view mirror to see an officer of the law following? What is your first reaction? I am sure many of you immediately take your foot off of the gas pedal before you even look at the speedometer. Why? Because, in the past you have been known to speed (translated not walking uprightly) and you now can not drive with confidence (translated surely). Wouldn't it be great to be able to drive comfortably and even live comfortably? Just do right. It will make for a confident life and a great night's sleep. As the old saying goes, "There is no pillow as soft as a clear conscience."
