He made feet to enable us to run from temptation, not to chase after evil. Cautious feet are the result of humble eyes that do not assume they see all there is to see. They are the result of truthful tongues that are not ready to cover up and deny foolish gambles. Cautious feet are the result of honest hands committed to honest work rather than to foolish or illegal risks. They are the result of good hearts that are looking not for a way to take chances with evil, but for ways to do good.
Caution is natural to a wise person and unnatural to the foolish.
God wants us to develop a spirit of caution and self-discipline in everything we do. God's ability to see dangers we are apt to miss is seen in Christ's warnings about the Pharisees who were some of the most religious and reputable people of His day. We are more inclined to follow our heart and our desires than to think about where those unexamined and untested desires are taking us. Because of our rashness, we often sin. We continually need Christ not only for forgiveness but for His Spirit of insight and direction.
