Keeping on the Path
posted by dustin on Nov 30, 2007
This life never ceases to amaze me. It’s a natural rollercoaster that shows you what you’re made of. How strong-willed, obedient, and patient we are. None of which I am. Really, what was I thinking? To think my will was above God’s. I’m lucky he’s so compassionate. Otherwise I’d be off in the distance, probably living on the wide path. Thankfully I’m walking the narrow bumpy road. There’s nothing easy about it. A friend of mine was joking about how easy non-Christ followers have. And they do, but when it’s all said and done with who’s got it easy? There are definitely times of clarity and ease, but that’s obviously not the concern.
I’ve been putting some serious thought and prayer into whether or not to go into the ministry full time. There’s a possibility I might move to Missouri to go to Bible College. I’m still unsure of what God wants of me. All I know, and care about is that I’m following his lead. And because of that, He’ll continue to give me strength. Louie Giglio speaks in his “How Great is Our God” DVD about how if we go on the path of righteousness that though it may not be easy, and though there may be hardships and pain that God will always keep us strong. He will always provide enough strength, and that he’ll keep giving, and keep giving, and keep giving. And we’ll never be alone. 1st Corinthians 10:13 says, “No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.”
We’ll always be under his hand of protection so there’s no need to worry. Keep strong, keep on the path of few and we’ll always have a way to be OK.
