Temptation is an irresistible force at work on a moveable body. - H.L. Mencken
The prodigal son's journey into a 'far country' began with his first step. - Anon
Growing up we used to think of the world as this big, big place with far away distant lands that seemed unreachable, almost unimaginable to us. Today with planes, trains, and autos, the world has become a much smaller place. But that doesn't mean we can't wander into a 'far distant' place away from God. It is not so much the place travelled as it is the decisions we make. In truth, a 'far country' is any decision or move we make that takes us away from God. It may seem like a small step or two, but every journey begins with the first step. And once that journey begins it could take months or years to return. So as we are putting on our shoes today let's be careful and watch where we step.
Until Monday......
Pastor Botts
"...I have kept my feet from every evil path so that I might obey your word." - Psalm 119:101
