Everyday, some of us are going to reach that place where the road splits, and goes two or more ways. Which way do we go? Now, I say "we," for two reasons. The first reason is we never walk alone.
*
When you pray, you are not praying to yourself; you are praying to the Lord, because you know He is with you and will hear even an unspoken prayer. So, this is why I say "We." But, then, just as He is with you, so too, can the devil be trying to lead you off in his direction.
*
Thoughts of fame, gain, pleasure or pain,
That little whisper that you hear,
When you choose which way to go,
Is not so much from the one on high,
But is the one from down below.
*
The other "we," is because you have two bodies. The physical or flesh body, which lives for the moment and will sure die; and the spiritual body, where your soul is, and which will never physically die. When you have two paths to take, and a decesion to make, most often, the flesh wants to go one way and the spirit wants to go another.
*
There is a constant war,
Going on, inside of you, everyday.
"Flesh" wants to walk the road to worldly pleasures,
"Spirit" knows Who walks beside you,
And wants to follow Him, the other way.
*
So, now the choice to make becomes clearer, as you consider whose "voice" to follow. Flesh wants you to lead, and will merrily follow you all the way to hell. Spirit knows Who walks beside you, and wants to follow Him, and return to the joy and peace within.
*
Now the decesion is clearer still,
Will you lead or will you follow?
Life, and follow the Lord to heaven,
Death will lead the way to hell.
