God's Glory Church

“Sometimes the road seems simple to a person, but its end is the path to death.” — Proverbs 14:12

Pastor Damian’s schedule included visits to two people who were near death but decided to take two different paths in life. In one hospital there was a woman who was loved by her whole family. Her selfless public service was endeared to many. Believers in Jesus gathered around her, and worship, prayer, and hope filled the room. In another hospital, a relative of a church member, Pastor Damian, was dying. This man’s hardened heart led to a difficult life, and his family lived in despair because of his bad decisions and actions. The difference in the atmosphere that prevailed around each of these two reflected the striking difference in their lifestyles.

Those who do not think about where they are going often find themselves in uncomfortable and lonely places. In the Book of Proverbs, it is noted that sometimes “the road seems easy to a person, but its end is the path of death” (Prov. 14:12). Young or old, sick or healthy, rich or poor – it is not too late to reconsider your path. Where does it lead? Does he glorify God? Does it help or hurt others? Is this the best way for a Christian?

Choice matters. The Heavenly Father will help us make the best choice if we turn to Him through His Son Jesus, who said: “Come to Me… and I will give you rest” (Mt. 11:28).

What in your life path needs revision or correction? What prevents you from asking for God’s help and courage in correcting your path?

Dear Jesus, You are the source of life. Give me the courage and strength to dedicate my life to You and do only what brings You glory.
