Paths of destruction?

I remember an illustration a professor used once (sorry i can't remember which one) but he said that once we do something or learn something we create a pathway in our brains that is there permanently, that is why many people have addictions or patterns. The same goes true in our spiritual walk with God. People fall into the same sins all the time and wonder why they can't get out. This is where Jesus comes in, we need to ask him to stand guard at the entrance of those paths and listen to him when he tells us to turn around and NOT go down that path of destruction any more! We need to hear his voice when he tries to save us from falling over and over again. It needs to be a constant decision. This is why we take up our cross daily! It's not enough to just ask Jesus into our lives but to obey him and let him guide us in the direction that is best for us!

From the mouths of babes

The boys prayers tonight: CALEB: "God help me to not say bad words, like the word Stupid and help me to be nice on the playground and not throw wood chips, and God I want you to be safe and comfortable and not be scared of Monsters..." That was a little bit of his- MICAH: "Thank you God for helping me be a good boy and not turning my card in class, when I grow up I want to be a basketball player....no, a doctor, help me to be grow big like daddy so I can make a basket... help me to not be scared... Help me to be good again so we can play a game tomorrow... Thank you for my beautiful day. AMEN...." They love to pray. =)

Matthew 21:16 (New International Version)

16 “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him.

“Yes,” replied Jesus, have you never read,"From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise?”
