God Makes Your Path Smooth
Commentators agree that the 'upright' or 'even' path of the just isn't primarily about our own perfect behavior, but about God's action on our behalf. Scholars like Calvin and Barnes explain that God makes the way smooth, straight, and level for His people. Even when life feels rough and full of obstacles, God is actively clearing a path, ensuring you can navigate it safely and reach the goal He has set for you.
