We cannot follow The Way until we have given up our way. Until then, we are off on another road, a detour. What we like to do is to rename our preferred street “Christian Street”. It is the way we alter the Christ and shape Him like us. The right thing to do is to get on the Jesus Way. He said, “I am the Road. I am the Highway. I am the Path.” The way we walk is truly the road we are on. There is no denying it, though we often find ways of excusing our walk.
Oh Jesus, do not let our steps wander from You. Forgive us for our missteps. Forgive us for our detours. By grace may we so long for the High Road that we never ever walk the low road. Amen.
