Some how we are to walk the straight and narrow. The bible says that the man plans his way but the Lord directs his steps.  Also the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord…Psalm 37:33, Prov 26.9.

The bible talks about what many have call the straight and narrow road to follow Jesus.  Jesus knows all the steps you are to take on a daily basis.  I used to be pretty good at topography reading (i guess a weird gift of somes sort).  We would start at point A and have to get to point Z with a compass and a map of the land using only valleys, hills, creeks,.  The funny thing is that a little off close up is not so bad but the further you go away from the origin the farther you get off course. You might be a foot off at 100 yards but keeping the same setting going several miles that foot turns into being lost or totally missing the mark.  The enemy wants to pull you away from everyone and isolate you.  Just like he led Jesus to the wilderness this has been his scheme for a while.  Once isolated he moves in for the kill.  We are equipted with the scriptures to combat the devil.  We all need others to gently restore us back to health.  To help us straighten up. To point us back on the straight and narrow. 

Ethan Coke one of our youth had scoliosis of the spine.  Ethan has a mother that is a nurse.  Ethan got prayer for the scoliosis and guess what it was straighten.  His mother measured his back and is totally in shock as as any medical profession person would be.  God not only straightens our paths but HE staightens backs as well.  Way to go God you are still moving.Â
