Crumbling Paths

To reach the ultimate finish line we have to take the journey. Life’s progress is full of pathways... traveling, choosing, seeking but sometimes not finding what we had hoped for or expected. Then we look elsewhere. The world offers free advice, just “google it” and you are pulled into an information “mother lode”.


The world has an answer for everything but that doesn’t make it the best choice. Sometimes what the world presents seems logical and appealing, easier than the straight and narrow.  “Besides, I can’t get it right and I keep stumbling and falling." Who cares anyway?” (I was one of those) The world’s paths eventually crumble in our wake and we can become lost over and over again.  
"Who cares anyway." That one thought,  planted in the hearts of men, has led to the loss of many souls. If we are thinking on that level then we have forgotten the Lords promise… “I will never fail thee nor forsake thee.” 

But it is not too late. The teaching and traditions of our founding fathers was based in Christian principles.   Faith in Jesus Christ was a strength that gave men courage, belief, direction and purpose.  The world is working overtime to destroy that faith. What the world fails to recognize is that enduring strength and power come only in and through living the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

You can do a lot of stumbling in 60 years. But as Paul H Dunn wrote, “Success doesn’t come in never falling, but rising every time you fall.”  I know that to be true. But when you stumble, reach for the Lord’s hand and He can pull you higher than you have ever been before.
