A lifeline around you

Life often forks in two different directions and the Bible gives us a clear choice between the two. The responsibility that we have is that we must take the higher road, even though it looks difficult and treacherous. 

That road gets steep in places. The climb takes a toll on your energy. It gets lonely. Not many are on it, but more than you imagined, and some because of your example. 

It gets slippery, Satan blows ice on the narrow passages. Despite the dangers, the higher road is bound for the peak, and you’ll make it - God has a lifeline around you. 

When you are tempted to falter in your faith or to turn back from following Christ, keep focused on what he has done for you and what he offers in the future. Then keep climbing.
