STAYING ON THE PATH
READ 2 KINGS 10:1 THROUGH 12:21; LUKE 22:39-62
Abby was enjoying the walk through the forest with her parents and three sisters. Her father pointed out various wildlife and plants as they trekked single-file along the narrow path. At the back of the line, Abby kept getting distracted. When Abby saw a butterfly flutter past her head, she chased after it down a side path. By the time she ended her pursuit, she realized she was far from the main path. Terrified, she cried out for her father, and within moments he came running toward her.
Then seizing Him, they led Him away and took Him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance (Luke 22:54).
Peter faced a situation similar to Abby’s. By following Jesus at a distance, he let his own fear and uncertainty keep him too far away from Jesus to support Him.
We need to stay close to Jesus by reading the Bible and praying. That way we can follow His steps along the paths of our lives.
Thought for Today: Reading God’s Word will keep us on the path of righteousness.
