Strength for the Upright

I read this morning "The way of the Lord is strength for the upright,..." Prov.10:29a. It's a very simple and straightforward statement about how things work in the Lord's service. Obedience to the Lord makes you strong. Doing what the Lord has called you to do makes you strong. I suppose this is partly because God always empowers and equips where He calls. I wonder if burnout and and similar maladies can be traced to us leaving the way of the Lord and going our own way, or doing "good" things our own way. With the world and all it's swirling, confusing lies clamoring for our attention, it's no wonder we often find ourselves exhausted and weak and somewhere we did not intend to be. Time to evaluate.... is this The way of the Lord, or my own way?
