The Fork In The Road

Our Thoughts:

Life is a long road, with many twists and turns. Sometimes it backs us into a corner, or leads us down a one-way street, or perhaps a dead end. Or, so we think!

Think of this: would you park your new car on an unlit street, one in an area that you know to be a place of criminals? Would you leave your child in a home where you know that there are criminals, or drugs? What about yourself? Do you take chances with your life, your finances, your spiritual life?

Each new days brings us another avenue in which to develop better skills, whether it be for living, working, or worshipping. Each morning, when we wake up, God should be foremost on our minds. But, is it? I must admit, that most mornings, we are happy to wake up. But, as our feet hit the floor, our first thoughts are 'I'm hungry' or 'I need to go to the bathroom'! We should train our minds to wake up with a 'thank you, God', for his letting us have yet another day to shape our lives the way He wants them.

The fork in the road represents another challenge. Are we up to those challenges each day? Are we feeding our mind and soul with the WORD, so that, when the enemy strikes out, we are prepared? Do we feast in His presence, to know that His POWER is in our lives? When we come to the _forks_ in the road, will we know which one to take? Will we feel fear, as we travel down those back avenues, or those lonely streets? Or, will we know that GOD is right there with us, His Spirit alive in our hearts and souls, guiding each and every choice that we make?
