Years ago I heard about a sign outside of Anchorage, Alaska. It says, “choose your rut wisely; you will be in it for the next 200 miles.” That makes a lot of sense when you think about how much snow that part of Alaska gets each winter.
The path that we are on makes a big difference. It might be a path that leads somewhere or leads you no where. It could be one of success or of failure. It should be one of peace and strength and of seeking God.
Psalm 119:105 NLT
Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.
The Bible gives us light because it feels us with hope. The path we choose is the one that is either dark or light, evil or good. It could be one that keeps tripping us up in big ways. But my prayer is that we choose paths that will help us and others find life.
Galatians 6:1 NLT
Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself.
We can help others get on the right path. That is a responsibility each of us have in how we influence others. So make sure that your path, the one you are on daily, is a great one.
Proverbs 2:20 NLT
So follow the steps of the good, and stay on the paths of the righteous.
Our steps are either good or bad. We are either with God or we are not.
Proverbs 22:6 NLT
Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.
It is time to be on the right path and influence others to do the same. It starts with the choices we make to be on the path with God.
