Cutting A Trail
April 24, 2012

The Native Americans of Michigan were the state’s first highway route engineers. With few exceptions, Michigan’s major highways follow the trails they cut through the wilderness hundreds of years before the white man came. A trail was 12-18 inches wide, and for safety the people followed single file. Then pack horses followed these trails, widening them. Later came wagons, and the trails became dirt roads and then highways.

In a similar way, Solomon followed the trail of his father and in turn paved the way for his sons and grandsons. He did this by encouraging his sons to heed his instructions just as he had followed the sound teaching of his father (Prov. 4:4-5). So this father, giving his sons good practical and spiritual counsel, was passing on what he had learned from the boys’ grandfather, David, who was called a “man after [God’s] own heart” (1 Sam. 13:14; Acts 13:22). The younger generation of believers often learns best about God from the family.

Our physical and spiritual children watch the path we’re taking. As God’s men and women, let’s make certain we cut a righteous, wise, and clear trail. Then if ongoing generations choose to follow, the trail can become a highway—an ongoing legacy to God’s glory.

Lord, as I walk my path of life,
Help my feet step straight and true;
That those who follow after me,
Will be tracking straight with You. —Egner

When we follow God, we blaze a trail
for those who would follow.

Read: Proverbs 4:1-7

Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, and give attention to know understanding. —Proverbs 4:1

Bible in a Year:
2 Chronicles 4-6

Was it Orwell or Churchill?

“We are enabled to sleep peacefully in our beds at night because rough men are ready to do violence on our behalf.”

God bless our troops and keep them in His protecting hands...

I had an “invitation” to attend SERE school in 1968 before heading to Asia. We arrived at North Island and the first thing I noticed was that the poor b**tards there could not stand; they had to be jogging in place even when at rest. They were working those legs virtually their entire time awake.

Those poor b**tards were UDT/trainees hoping to be selected to attempt to become SEALS. Only the select of the select of the select actually become SEALS - them are some bad dudes!

I have respect for all Spec. Forces guys, but incredible respect for SEALS.
