The One True Road

[Prayer-Soldier]

Many blessings to all,

I am left to ponder the roads which bring us together, the roads which divide us, what roads lead to opportunity and what roads lead to failure. As we walk each day, we must choose various roads and paths to take. At times we chose the road that is crowded, at others we chose the path with but a few prints of feet which have treaded before us. We sometimes chose the road well paved, at others we chose the path that is rough, with dangers along the way. We don\'t always know what the road has in store from what we see at its beginning.

As we look in each direction, we may wonder about the travelers who have proceeded ahead of us and to what ends they have seen. We may wonder as we pass each choice of direction to take what might befall us or what could come our way depending upon the roads we choose or fail to take.

The paths of life are many, but the road that is certain is the road God has laid for us. Our challenge is whether we can recognize it and once it is found, can we stay the course? Armed with maps and compass, we may think we can find the way on our own, but the one true road upon which we are invited has but one guide, the one who was born, suffered, died and rose to show us the way.

May God be with you,
Prayer Soldier
