(Proverbs 7:12 KJV) Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
The larger context of this verse is how sin is looking for me. Everywhere we go we are faced with opportunities to pollute our righteousness. Although we see the young man who is being stalked also on the hunt, the point here is that evil is everywhere.
Notice it mentions the “streets” (2351) or the ways we get places. It mentions the “squares” (7339), the places we are going. We make decisions on route at “every” (3605) “corner” (6438). The entire trip is laid out for us but there are choices we make.
Every day when I go to work I have choices to make. I have two general routes, freeway or streets. I can divide them up and wander around on the way. I could pick my path based on the information that the TV gives me or consult my Google Maps App. I am responsible.
So? Make use of the tools you have for picking your way to work. Use different tools to pick your way to heaven.
