I. ITS EXERCISE. The text supposes that we look at our "ways" as sinful and needing reformation. Such the fact. Conscience, experience, and revelation testify that "we have all gone astray," etc. Think, then, upon —

1. The essential evil of a sinful course.

2. The boundless aggravations of our sins.

3. The fearful and fatal end of a sinful life.

II. ITS RESULTS. Such thoughtfulness will —

1. Convince us of our sinfulness, and lead us be the only Saviour. The longings of the soul only satisfied in God.

2. Maintain constancy of fixed principle. Illustrate from the "three Hebrew youths."

3. Inspire inflexibility of purpose and steadiness of progress.

(James Foster, B. A.)
