The Short Road

Wednesday. Ps. 119: 97-1 05.

Eating, breathing, sleeping, exercising — this is the common road to bodily health and vigor. Food, air, rest, activity — this is the road to Christian growth and vigor: the food of the Word well chewed; the fresh air of the Holy Spirit breathed habitually; the rest of trusting God confidently, unquestioningly, in tight corners and everywhere else; the lending a warm, helping hand unstintingly to others. It’s an old road, and it leads straight to the goal.
