Does Your Journey Through Life Mirror a Train Following a Track?

What track are you on?  Do you have a track you follow in a straight line, or do you have a track that goes along straight, then veers sharply too the left, then sharply to the right.  Does your track just run out and stop at times?  God has directed us to His track that is straight.  We are instructed to be strong and courageous and stay on the straight track.  We have the manual in our hands, Holy Scripture.  We will know when we begin to get off the track when we submit to His direction; all Godly relationships in your life can stay on the straight track; then you will experience favor. 

(Proverbs 3:1-6) My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight.
