Tony Evans tells us: "Make no mistake: God means every word he says. This, then, is one of the most sobering verses of Scripture: There is a way that seems right to a person, but its end is the way to death. In the book of Judges, Israel was in a dark and disastrous period because “everyone did whatever seemed right to him” (Judg 21:25). This highlights the problem with worldly, human wisdom: it seems right! And without comparison to the divine perspective, it looks pretty good. Human strategies and philosophies about life have a bunch of people convinced because they appeal to our self-centered notions of what’s best. But those who won’t seek God’s opinion regarding the right path will pay a high price in the end. Rely solely on human logic to chart the course of your life, and it will lead you on a path to hell. "
