The Long and Winding Road

Proverbs 15:24 (NKJV) The

way of life winds upward for

the wise, that he may turn

away from hell below.

While not a Beatles fan, the

title of Paul McCartney’s song,

The Long and Winding Road,

sums up well the theme of

today’s proverb.Remember, life is like a

journey—a long and winding

journey. On the journey there will be

moments of delight and

moments of sorrow. There will

be long, boring stretches when

nothing of significance seems to

be happening,and then suddenly

there will be seasons when the

pace is so intense you find

yourself gripping the steering

wheel tightly and whispering
 prayers under your breath.

The key is to keep “winding

your way upward” by making

wise “God-honoring” decisions.

God is not going to drop you

into hell every time you blow it.

There will be potholes along the

way. There will be times you get

distracted and veer off the road.

There will be times you make a

wrong turn. When these things

happen,make adjustments—

quickly repent and keep winding

your way back toward the upward way.

Eventually, by the grace of

God, you will make Heaven your

home.
