“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
-- Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken
Psalm 1:1-6
Two paths of life lay before each of us. One path leads to everlasting life, and the other leads to destruction. Many of us have been privileged to be given more than one opportunity to choose the correct path. However, Christ is not obligated to present us with the choice at all. He has promised that we will be given an opportunity to know Him but not multiple opportunities. According to the writer of Ecclesiastes, life without Christ is meaningless. The Psalmist tells us that a man is blessed if he mediates on things of God and His Word. A blessed man knows God’s promises and believes them. He is content and bears good fruit. He is deeply rooted, and his spiritual condition is healthy. Jeremiah writes that a man who relies on his own flesh for strength and turns his heart from the things of God is cursed. If you have given your life to Christ, then you are blessed. Christ promises to continue to bless your daily obedience. Consequently if you reject Christ you are cursed. You may enjoy material, earthly blessings for a season, but your path leads to destruction.
Questions:
Are you blessed or are you cursed? What path are you taking?
