The path matters

While in the mountains there are many trails. One can take you to a magnificent point of view at the edge of a cliff or to a magical waterfall. However, not all paths lead to something spectacular. Some can actually lead us directly into danger.

In a similar way, our lives are filled with off-ramps, detours and crossroads. The road we choose can make all the difference in our scenery, and in our lives.

Maybe that truth is why I love these verses so much.

“Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.” (Psalm 25:4-5 NLT)
