Slippery Road Ahead

*Slippery Road Ahead*

"Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip." 2
Samuel 22:37

A few years ago, a load of mayonnaise fell off a truck in the Hyogo
prefecture of Japan. Mayo contains eggs, vinegar, and oil, and the
shattered bottles created a slippery stretch of highway that police said
was slicker than snow. It caused an eight-car pile-up, resulting in three
injuries and a five-hour road closure.

The highway of life can sometimes have some upsets and accidents that make
the path just as slippery and uncertain as if it was coated in mayonnaise.
Sometimes it happens at major intersections while at other times it happens
at the same time as a bend in the road. Whatever slippery situation we
encounter, the most important thing to ensure is that we are traveling on
the right road - the only Way that leads to eternal life. King David
realized that if he was walking with the Lord that his feet would not slip
(2 Sam. 22:37). "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he
delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down:
for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand" (Ps. 37:23). In Psalm 85:13, he
wrote, "Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of
his steps." And Isaiah 35:8 says, "An highway shall be there, and a way,
and it shall be called The way of holiness."

The most important thing about life's journey is being on the right road so
our footsteps are sure and our destination is secure. Jesus Himself warned
us to examine the pathway we are taking in life, for there are only two
different destinations - "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the
gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be
which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it" (Matt. 7:13-14).
Which road are you walking on?

*Revival is just you and I walking along the Highway in complete oneness
with the Lord Jesus and with one another, with cups continually cleansed
and overflowing. (Roy Hession)*
