From Bill Dayton... The Path of Least Resistance!



The Path of Least Resistance!


The path of least resistance. "The path of least resistance describes the physical or metaphorical pathway that provides the least resistance to forward motion by a given object or entity, among a set of alternative paths." Wikipedia. Andrew
When it comes to the way we choose to live our lives, perhaps we could simply say that the path of least resistance is the easy way out. There is no challenge, no effort on our part.
When we look at God's Word we see passages like Jeremiah 10:23. "Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps."
Proverbs 14:12: There is a way that seems right unto men, but its end leads to death."
There are many more warnings we could find, but despite them all many today take the path of least resistance when it come to living according to God's way. Matthew 7:13,14 tells us that there are two roads, one is easy (least resistant) that leads to destruction, one is difficult that leads to heaven.

Even though God's way is challenging, it is most rewarding. We are to walk by faith not sight (2Cor.5:7). When we walk by faith, we TRUST God to direct our path. His word is a lamp unto my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105. One of the greatest legacies to leave for our children is to be known as one who walked with God. Have a GREAT day!
