The Path

It didn't take me long to realize just how small I am. We were over a mile from the mountain, but its sheer size was still intimidating. Each of us were told to follow the marked trail through the forest. After all, this wasn't our home; we were just strangers passing through. So we did just that for the most part. We followed the trail, and it led us safely back to our car late that evening.

This old earth isn't our home either; we are also just strangers passing through. There are many trials and tribulations as well as victories on our journey here. We often make our life very difficult by going it alone, but we don't have to walk alone. We have a friend in Jesus, and he has shown us the path of a victorious life. Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." He is the perfect path set before us.

Maybe you've never met Jesus, and you have never found the way. Maybe you know him, but you have strayed far from the path and found yourself lost again. Whatever your circumstances are in life, Jesus wants to guide you back to safety. Only he can get you home, and only he can guide you along the lit path.

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. (Proverbs 3:6)
