The Road Less Traveled As we went rockhounding last weekend, we decided to try a new path we hadn’t been down before. Some parts of the road were ok for some vehicles to go down. Much of it was like the pictures below. The pic doesnt really do it justice to show how steep and rough it was in many places. 2-10mph on these parts of the road in 4low. As we went along this very rough part of the journey, there were: -rocks of various sizes and shapes protruding - many deep crevices where you had to steer to the left of the right to get through - places where you had to slow down to a crawl due to steep terrain. -other places in the journey where you could pick up speed and travel along at a normal pace… fairly smooth roads in comparison. Isn’t that just like life? Some more so than others, but still…. Maybe you are an addict, been through domestic violence, grew up in a house of dysfunction and abuse, or maybe you werw abandoned by those who were suppose ot care for you and left on your own to fend for yourself. Maybe you didnt have any super traumatic situations, but life still has its twists and turns, its mountain tops and valleys, its high places and low….. When we were going through this part of the road along this journey at a crawl….the Lord impresseed upon me… “The Road Less Traveled”….. In Matthew 7:13-14 Jesus says, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” It also reminded me of this verse where Jesus says… “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 There are many roads roads out there spiritually, but they don’t all lead to heaven. Only one does. No matter what you have been through in life, what kind of roads you have been down or are on. Jesus is the only way. He is our peace and safety through the bumpy roads in life.
