Proverbs 7:25 Don't Turn Or Stray
Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, do not stray into her paths; Proverbs 7:25 When traveling on a long cross-country trip it is easy for a person to stray from side to side on the road or even to take a wrong turn. Things alongside the road can distract a person from where one desires to go. Many accidents occur on a regular basis because someone was looking at something on the side…

...taste the penalty for having hindered others from the path of God, and suffer terrible torment.
Quran, Chapter 16, verse 94
Because of the corruption they spread, We shall add torment upon torment for those who disbelieved and barred others from the path of God.
Quran, Chapter 16, verse 88
“So taste the punishment for your disbelief.” They use their wealth to bar people from the path of God, and they will go on doing so. In the end this will be a source of intense regret for them: they will be overcome and herded towards Hell.
Quran, Chapter 8, verses35 and 36
The Easy Road? (Exodus 13:17-22)
When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. (Exodus 13:17)
Life’s path is often difficult. So if we expect that God will always gives us an easy road, we may be tempted to turn our back on Him when the terrain gets tough.
If you’ve ever considered doing that, think about the people of Israel. When they were given freedom from the Egyptians after hundred of years of bondage, they took off for the Promised Land. But God didn’t send them straight home. He “did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter” (Exo.13:17) Instead He sent them on the hard road through the desert. In the short run, this helped them avoid wars. but in the long run, there was something bigger at work.
God used that time in the desert to instruct and mature the people He had called to follow him. The easy road would have led them to disaster. The long road prepared the nation of Israel for their successful entry into the Promised Land.
Our God is Faithful, and we can trust Him to lead us and care for us no matter what we face. We may not understand the reason for the path we are on, but we can trust Him to help us grow in faith and Maturity along the way.
Lord, I cannot see the path ahead, so I trust that the way is right and that it is the best road for me to take. Please encourage me, and teach me as I let you direct my path.
This road,
Lonely,
Righteous,
How could their moralities be taken?
Few,
Though endless hardship with every deed shown.
