There are two roads in life to choose for your journey.
You can try to achieve success through your own efforts. Or, you can walk with Jesus anchored to the Holy Spirit.
Most people elect the first road and some attempt a hybrid approach traveling back and forth between the roads.
You and I are creatures of habit. We eat, drink, work, and sleep.
The road less traveled allows you to do all these things but you do them as a new creature in Christ Jesus. And, Jesus changes your habits to conform with His life.
Regardless of the road you travel, there will be adversity, pain, and suffering at times. And, you will make mistakes on either road.
So why choose the less traveled road?
This road has no end. You live with God forever.
Jesus shares His attributes with you on this road. He provides you with strength, wisdom, joy, and protection. These qualities cannot be found on earth. They come from Heaven.
This road gives you the ability to walk with the Living Christ and live in the reality of God.
Jesus becomes your best friend and shares His life with you.
You wake up in the morning and hear the voice of God.
On the road with Jesus you live by faith trusting in the promises of God. There are no promises on the road living for self and death is inevitable.
The road with Jesus creates a facsimile of His life. You become reproduced into the personality and character of God.
The road of self sufficient living will give you short lived moments of success and joy but your final destination is destruction and death.
The less traveled road does not intersect with religion. You have complete freedom from laws and the works of religion.
The intrinsic value of the less traveled road is understanding the greatness and glory of God.
As a believer you are entitled to own this promise from God; “The eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of mind the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
Why do so many people resist the road less traveled? They are blinded to God and live in unbelief, they fear losing control, or they do not know the character of God. How can you reject the God who made the stars and holds them together by His word?
Jesus lives so you can live!
