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!
