P.O.L.R.

The Lord has blessed us with a lot of rain today. Rivers have risen and drainage ditches are filled. As I was driving home today, I happened to take notice of this. A thought came to me that I had learned in school; and that is: Water will always take the Path Of Least Resistance. I pondered that for a moment in regards to my Christian walk. Have I started taking the path of least resistance? I believe I have. With R.J. in our lives now, it's easy to use him as an excuse for not reading like I should, not taking time for in-depth Bible study, not studying as a couple. But, he can only be used as an excuse for so much...not that he should be used. However; what about not sharing with others the Gospel, like I could be? What about not giving tracts out wherever I go? What about not praying fervently for others as I should? What about not taking time to call or send an encouraging word to other brothers and sisters in Christ or the persecuted missionary who may not know where his/her next meal is coming from? I have started taking the path of least resistance. Please, don't take this to mean that I feel I should secure my salvation by doing these things...that is entirely not the case. But, out of love and obedience to the Lord, a desire to know Him, a desire for holiness and righteousness, a desire to love more like Him; both the saved and the lost. That is the reason to do these things. To not be afraid to meet resistance...
