WHERE DOES IT GO??


"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."
Matthew 7:13-14



Have you ever looked down a country road like the one pictured and wondered, "I wonder where it goes?" You imagine what might be at the end of the road or even around a bend in the road. Will you find a young deer eating grass or maybe a beautiful garden of wildflowers planted there by God? Do you stop and try to decide whether to venture down that road or just stay where you are and "be safe".

Our walk with God is like that. We don't know what God has in store for us "around the bend". Will it be something difficult, beautiful or enlightening? We can always "be safe" and just stay where we are at. Or we can follow God's leading and venture down that road. God wants us to obey and follow Him. And even though sometimes it may be difficult, He always is there with us and gives us what we need to get through any difficult time. I pray I will always be willing to follow Him down whatever road he leads me. And no matter what is down that road, I know it is His will and He is in control. And at the end of the road of life - what a WONDERFUL sight we will see!!!
