Fantastic Friday #786 - Path

Path

103
How sweet are your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 
I gain understanding from your precepts;
therefore I hate every wrong path.
105 
Your word is a lamp for my feet,
a light on my path. Psalm 119:103-105

We all have paths that we walk on daily, and these paths never lead in a straight line to anything typically, as there are always forks in the road where we must choose the path that is right for us. I love the old poem by Robert Frost The Road Not Taken where two roads diverged in a yellow wood, it offers so much imagery. While he was disappointed he could not travel both, sometimes our paths have a choice between right and wrong. The path least taken by most these days is probably the one we should take, because the world has trodden down the one with distractions and things in our life that are not sweet like the honey we could taste with the right path. God has taught us through the years not to take the wrong path, even though it might be more simple and flat. God will guide us through the challenging path that will bring us closer to Him. So, when you see the paths before you, take the well-lit more difficult path and that will make all the difference.

Have a great weekend.

Matt
