The Road Less Traveled

Joshua 1:7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law  which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may  prosper wherever you go

Jesus said wide is the way which leads to destruction, and there is many who will travel this road.
It is the easy road to travel and many have been fooled that it is the way to go because so many have chosen this path. But it is the broad road which leads to death and damnation.

Jesus said we should travel the narrow uphill road, it is less traveled yet it is the road which leads to life. The life that comes from following Him. As tempting as it might be to travel the broad road, we must stay on the narrow way to eternal life. even the slightest detour can eventually take us far from the path that Jesus has called us to travel. Joshua was instructed not to veer to the left nor the right, but to continue straight ahead. We must not stray from the truth of God's word, from the direction of His way or the life which He is calling His children to live, no matter how difficult the uphill narrow road might appear to be to travel.

This life we have been called to live can sometimes be hard and seem unbearable. We must be strong in the Lord and the power of His Christ, and observe all that we have been commanded to do. We can't sway even just a little, but stay the course and hold to God's unchanging hand, that we might lead a lost world up the right path.
