Taking The High Road...


Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9

The guide book said it was an easy hike around the lake, where the flat path hugged the waters edge. It was going to take longer this day, because I had to stop every few feet, it seemed for another breathtaking view in the late afternoon light. Rounding a bend, the path began to lean upward. Within minutes, the fork in the road became visible. The low road? The known path, the easy one. The high road? The unknown path, the mystery of what is out there. Decisions, decisions, decisions...

I thought about forks in the road, spiritually-speaking. The Bible advises us to set our thoughts on things above, not below.  The high road, God's way, always the better path.

I am taking the high road!

"Take the high road... its less crowded" author unknown- but that's my philosophy!

  1. The "high road"is sometimes the hard road to reach because feelings and emotions so often stand in the way.. but when you make it to that high road.. you find that is was the right path, and it feels good.. and no one can hurt you! Good for you. Love ya.
