Deuteronomy 17:20Meaning & Commentary from the Church Fathers

Traveler, you resemble one who implores, 'Direct my steps' (Psalm 118:133). Be cautious not to wander from the path, nor to veer to the right or the left. Walk in the way of the King! Let the builder establish the foundation of faith, which is Jesus Christ. He should remain vigilant as he constructs, using not wood, hay, or stubble, but gold, silver, and precious stones (See 1 Cor. 3:11-12).
