As I was walking this morning over our well worn path that goes from our house to our church and school I was thinking about our life?s path. The grass has been worn away by many shoes walking over it. There isn?t much time for it to take root and grow before we trample it again. There are several craggly roots that jut across the path which can?t be removed but we have to be watchful of so we don?t trip over them. The neighbors have taken care to uproot the poison ivy so we don?t rub up against it unknowingly.
So it is with our Walk in LIFE.
If we are consistent in the way we walk there isn?t enough time for bad thoughts and actions to take root. We must be purposeful in the path we choose and be watchful of small obstacles and temptations that might try to trip us up.
Be thankful for others that have gone before us clearing the way and helping remove the other irritations that can try to distract us.
The analogy works for household management and financial management as well. Conistency is often key to success any many areas of life. Conistency helps keep us on the right path. Consistency helps keep weeds from growing and slowing us down to distract us in dealing with the weeds instead of heading for what is ahead. Pray that God will help you be more consistent.
