Hello, and welcome to Selah – a sacred pause in the noise of life.
 I invite you to find a quiet spot, free from distractions, where you can fully focus on God’s presence.
 As we move through this meditation, engage your heart and mind—visualize the scriptures, let the words take root in your soul, and repeat the prayers.

Today, we’re reflecting on Proverbs 14:12:
 “There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.”

Not everything that feels right is right. Appearances can deceive us, but God’s wisdom leads us to life. When we surrender to His Word and Spirit, He keeps our steps from straying and guides us toward truth.

Close your eyes.
 Take a slow, deep breath in…
 Hold…
 Exhale slowly…

"Quiet my heart, Lord. Help me to be fully present with You.
 I rest in the knowledge that You are here,
 shaping me, molding me, and completing a good work in me."

Let’s Begin

I take another breath in…
 And as I exhale, I picture myself standing at a fork in the road.
 One path looks smooth and wide, inviting and easy.
 The other is narrow and steady, though not as appealing.

The wide path seems right—but I sense emptiness at its end.
 The Spirit gently nudges me toward the narrow way,
 the one that leads to life, wisdom, and peace.

“There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.”

I whisper the words:
 “Guide me, Lord.”

I may not always see clearly,
 but I trust His wisdom over my instincts.
 I trust His truth over my desires.

Breathe in…
 God’s way is life.
 Breathe out…
 I release false paths.

"Father, I confess that I often lean on my own understanding.
 I chase what looks easy or feels right in the moment.
 Forgive me when I choose comfort over obedience."

"Protect me from deception.
 Keep my feet on the narrow path that leads to life.
 Teach me to walk by Your wisdom,
 to trust that even when Your way feels difficult,
 it is the only way that brings lasting peace."

I breathe in truth…
 I breathe out confusion.
 I breathe in Your guidance…
 I breathe out my pride.

Let’s take another deep breath in…
 Hold…
 Exhale slowly…
 Speak these truths over your soul:

"God’s way leads to life."
 "My steps are guided by His wisdom."
 "I will not rely on my own understanding."
 "I choose the narrow path of truth."

Breathe in…
 Clarity.
 Breathe out…
 Deception.

Breathe in…
 Life.
 Breathe out…
 Death.

"Thank You, Lord, for the wisdom of Your Word.
 Thank You for showing me the dangers of false paths.
 Keep me steady on the way that leads to life,
 rooted in truth,
 and secure in Your presence."

Until next time, I will stay in Your presence and let hope overflow.
 Selah.
