The Road Not Taken

   Possibly the most quoted and/or misquoted poem is Robert Frost’s, The Road Not Taken.  I have to admit when I goggled it I typed in the road less traveled.  The name of the poem is The Road Not Taken, but the so often quoted is the road less traveled.  The point is that in life, every day we have choices to make, and once a person has started down one road of opportunity other roads are closed.  Even in the poem to narrator promises himself to come back some time and try the other road; however he knows that such chances rarely come again.  It is so in our lives as well.  We may pass up one date for another and in time marry the one and never think of the person we almost dated.  We take one job over another and set our lives on a course for years to come.  We tell ourselves we have plenty of time for God later, after we’ve had time for ourselves, time to sow a few wild oats.  Time passes and we never really did get around to giving God that time he deserved.  Even for Christians we may think “I’ll make church or Bible study a regular habit, once things settle down.”  And yet years later we never got around to taking that road.

  There is no good time or right time besides this time to choose God, not just once in a while when it suits, but to truly walk the road with him.
