The Path

A path is a trodden way. It may be a lane, road, or course of action. It may be a track with a specific course in mind. Sometimes we travel only to question ourselves if this was the best route. A path may be an action, a course of conduct, or a journey to a destination. The fact is everyone is on a path. I suppose we can call it a journey. It is the journey of life.


In the book The Path the author tells a familiar story of one family's journey that appears to end in the most extreme of heartbreak. Four leave a town known as the "House of Bread" due to there being no bread. On the return trip, there is only one of the original four on the path back. Another joins the lone survivor. Bitterness, heartache, loss, and misery accompany the returning pilgrim.


On the return home things were about to change. Hopelessness gives way to possibilities. Possibilities lead to trust and then to a miracle. Scott Peck in his book The Road Less Traveled opens with the three words, "Life is difficult." It is true, life is tough. As you read this book it is this authors' desire that you enter into the agony of a Jewish family going to the land of Moab and facing huge difficulties. Life is like that sometimes. Is there hope? Are there solutions? Read with intrigue, The Path, and draw your conclusions. All of us are on a journey. We are truly on a path. The path often leads home!


The presence of God in our journey puts a new light on the path. Sometimes the path is strewn with debris that causes us to stumble. Stop and think. There is a providence that leads the way on our journey. In the Path that providence actually leads to new life and hope.
