The Right Path

The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way aright. (Proverbs 11:5)

My daughter was coming home from college...to play the piano at her friend's wedding.... I sent her an e-mail directing her to take an alternate route instead of the one she usually travels...because on that road a few weeks earlier my wife and I had been delayed for two hours by construction crews.

As parents, we must provide alternate routes in life as well. We've observed the wrong highways others have traveled or perhaps the foolish ways we have taken, and we know they lead to delay or danger.... In Christ there is...a route that will lead our children away from the struggles we know they'll face on any other road.
