A Road Less Traveled One of my favorite poems is Road Less Traveled by Robert Frost. It goes like this: Two roads diverged in a yellow wood And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth Then took the other as just as fair And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear Though as for that, the passing there Had worn them really about the same And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet, knowing how way leads to way I doubted if I should ever come back I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence Two roads diverged in a wood And I took the one less traveled by And that has made all the difference I never read this poem that I'm not reminded of the choices I have made on which road I would travel in life.  God has made us in his image and has given us freedom of choice. I choose to do good or to do evil, to be happy or to be sad, to be right or to be wrong, to be saved or to be lost.   The bible tells us to “enter the strait gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the path that leads to destruction  and many there be which go in thereat.”  Matt. 7:13. The devil would have us believe that we should do nothing, take it easy, don’t worry, let someone else do it. Take care of yourself first, enjoy yourself at the expense of others. You’ll be happy when you get this house, this car, these clothes, that food, this drink. Enjoy, grab for all the gusto you can, you only go around once. Everybody is doing it, why not me? The devil says just lay back and let the currents of time wash you right into oblivion. Sound familiar?  We are bombarded with these things everyday. The devil wants us on the boulevard. Christ wants us on the strait and narrow. Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsover things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, if there be any praise, think on these things. Phil. 4:8 Thus saith the Lord, stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. Jer. 6:16 You see a long time ago, I too,  chose the road less traveled and that has made all the difference. To Christ be all the glory, praise and honor, for ever and ever. Amen -----Steve Covington
