Proverbs 16:25

“There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.”

All that glitters is not gold. The enemy has a way of making death look like life. He has a way of falsifying things in a way that makes the grimiest things look pleasant. There is only one path that leads to Christ. That path may have some hurdles it may have some obstacles and some challenges but it leads to eternal life with the Father. Then there is a path that looks so clear and clean cut, without obstacle without challenges without issues. It is so pleasing to the eye it invites and draws your soul but be careful because that very path will very well lead to death. So what seems beautiful to you might be vile in actuality.

Ass people we are not naturally drawn to the pursuit of righteousness, not within ourselves at least. It is the Holy Spirit that wills and gives us that ability to hunger and thirst for righteousness, and that desire to pursue the path that is right before the sight of God. Without the Holy Spirit, the wicked ways will seem pleasurable to us and without the same Spirit, we will desire the undesirable. So yes there is a way that seems Right to man but with the Holy Spirit, we are able to differentiate what is true and what is false. Acknowledge the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life and allow Him to direct and to teach you the ways of the Lord.
