Stay On The Right Path
It could have happened to anyone. It was just a tiny swerve to miss a pothole- to make the ride smoother- and two wheels of an 11,000 pound piece of heavy equipment were off the road and buried in a quagmire. 'Off the road' in a thousand other places wouldnt have been a problem. This was one of the very few 'soft spots' on a trail that was many miles long. The narrow strip of gravel was safe, but he left that path- he turned a little bit wide.
People so often do the same thing in many areas of life. Jesus said in Matthew 7:13-14, "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." The road that leads to life is firm- it's solid. There's room for everyone to walk on it, but it IS a narrow road.
This is why we need to stay focused. This is why we need to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. Stay on the right path. It isn't complicated. It isn't difficult (though sometimes it SEEMS that way). But it DOES require FOCUS and COMMITMENT. Be blessed! -Pastor Brad
