The crooked paths I create for myself.

“Consider the work of God, for who is able to straighten what he has bent? In the day of prosperity be happy, but in the day of adversity consider—God has made the one as well as the other so that man may not discover anything that will be after him.” (Ecclesiastes 7:13-14, NASB)

“There is the crooked that God causes and the crooked that we create for ourselves and God allows. We make mistakes, blunders, messes. We can create disorder, chaos, sadness, and suffering by breaking God’s instructions concerning how life is to be lived. Yet He who is in control over all things says, concerning the seemingly crooked that He has made or the crooked we have caused, “All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).”” (Myrna Alexander, Behold Your God)
