APRIL 10 - The Right Path Matters3-Year-Bible Reading: Proverbs 14:8–9; Psalm 41; Mark 10//⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠3-Year Bible Devotional Book (Year Two) Available on Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠//________________________________________“The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way, but the folly of fools is deceiving.” — Proverbs 14:8 (ESV)“As for me, I said, ‘O Lord, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against you!’” — Psalm 41:4 (ESV)“And Jesus said to him, ‘Go your way; your faith has made you well.’ And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him on the way.” — Mark 10:52 (ESV)________________________________________Have you ever gotten lost—even with Google Maps? Maybe you thought you knew the way, but one wrong turn and suddenly everything looked unfamiliar. Life can feel like that sometimes. We have choices, paths, and voices telling us which way to go. Proverbs 14:8 says wisdom helps us see our path clearly, while foolishness leads to confusion. In Psalm 41:4, David admits he needs God’s mercy and healing because his own choices sometimes led him astray. And in Mark 10:52, we meet a man whose faith opened his eyes—literally—and gave him a clear direction to follow Jesus.God cares about the path you take. He doesn’t just want to fix your mistakes; He wants to guide you before you make them. When you seek His wisdom, admit your need for Him, and trust Him like the blind man did, He leads you into healing, purpose, and clarity.________________________________________THINK ABOUT IT1. Wise or Foolish Paths: What does it mean to “discern your way” (Proverbs 14:8)? Are there areas where you need to ask God for wisdom before making choices?2. Healing Starts with Honesty: Like David in Psalm 41:4, why do you think admitting your struggles to God is the first step toward real healing?3. Faith Opens Eyes: The blind man in Mark 10:52 had faith that led to healing and a new direction. How can you practice that kind of faith in your daily life?________________________________________BOTTOM LINEWhen you seek God’s wisdom and trust Him fully, He gives you clarity, healing, and a path worth following.________________________________________PRAYERHeavenly Father, thank You for being the One who sees the whole path when I can’t. Give me wisdom to make the right choices, courage to admit when I need Your help, and faith to follow wherever You lead. Open my eyes to see the way You want me to go and help me trust You every step. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
