Fantastic Friday #565 - Take

Take

10 But he knows the way that I take;
when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
11 My feet have closely followed his steps;
I have kept to his way without turning aside. Job 23:10-11

Do you recognize the choices you make while you are on a certain path? I wonder if many of us look at the path that is most pleasing, takes the least amount of work, and has the least amount of suffering involved. By taking these paths, we are happy, not physically taxed, and certainly less stressed. However, God doesn't always want us taking the path of least resistance. He wants us taking a path that we can learn from, one that we can rely upon Him for His strength and one that can be most rewarding to us. We must take the challenging path so we can learn what God wants to teach us, for without learning anything new our existence is a meaningless straight line of doing the same thing over and over again. Follow God on the path He wants you to travel and I guarantee that your rewards will be much more than you can think of now.

Have a great weekend.
