THE UNSTABLE PATH

            What do you believe? A double minded man is unstable in all his ways (James 1:8). Is there a bookshelf full of once read spiritual books near you? Remember how uplifting they were when first read? Your Erroneous Zones, The Sermon on the Mount, The Purpose Driven Life, Joshua, Make Your Life Worthwhile, Never Alone, Just Like Jesus, The Secret, The Power of Intention are just a few within my arms reach. All interesting and uplifting in their own right, providing valuable information, I found however that they are all variations on the same theme. Living on the Spiritual Basis. Today mine eye is single and my vision has never been better. Many roads lead to Jerusalem, but we must pick one and stay on it, investing time and study in the path. A casual reading or passing assent avails us what all half measures bring in our spiritual lives, nothing. To grow in awareness and understanding requires consistent constructive action on our part, complacency leading only to tears. If the time comes to alter course we will know, and act without trepidation, for we have done the work and stand in the light, no longer fearful of “looking good” or changing course if it is the next indicated action.  We do not allow the winds of popularity to sway us, we set our sails, profiting in knowledge, learning from all, clear in what we believe and the path of enlightenment we have chosen to follow, leaving sacred cows by the side of the road.
