THE SHORT ROAD
Psalms 119:97-105
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.
