Up or Down?

Some Words of warning this morning from the Lord:

Proverbs 15:24

24 The way of life winds upward for the wise,
That he may turn away from hell below.

I like how this verse starts out. The way of life of course is Jesus. This verse tells us that those who are wise wind their way upward. It is not a straight easy road. It winds like a trip up through the mountains. If you have ever been to the Rockies or the Smokies you can easily picture this. It is the same in our Christian walk, we have peaks and valleys and many corners to make our way through. But the reward at the end is oh so worth it. As a bonus we have a Savior who is with us every step of the way providing the strength and peace we need! Unfortunately their is the other side to the story. If we chose the turn away from Jesus it is a road that is straight to hell. Along the way we are offered many chances by God to turn off that path but the foolish one will continue down that road. God is so merciful and longsuffering. He gives us every chance to choose the way of life. Why do so many choose hell?

Good Word from God today...don't miss out!

I will be in Ecuador on a Mission trip for a week starting tomorrow...please pray for our team as we do VBS with about 100 children there. God bless and will return with the devotions when I get back!
