Which Path

Pam Weinreis • May 26, 2021

Why do I strive so hard for the easy path?

A dirt road going through a grassy field

The one that has been cleared to travel fast.


I don’t recall signing up for all this. Does anyone?


Why do I complain and mumble?


Am I looking too far down the road?


Am I still in beginners’ class, grasping to understand contentment?

Apostle Paul seemingly embraced suffering and stayed faithful to the gospel.


2 Corinthians12:10


For the sake of Christ then, I am content with weakness, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.


Paul knew he owed everything to God and His call on his life.


Paul lived in the sufficiency of God’s grace.


Why do I act like that sufficiency is not for me?


Philippians 4: 11-13


Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be


content. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of


living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.


For I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength.

“Choosing contentment choice by choice maybe life’s greatest challenge, but it could also result


in your most important opportunity to impact our watching world.” (Pam Tebow)

“Choosing contentment choice by choice

maybe life’s greatest challenge, but it

could also result


in your most important opportunity to

impact our watching world.”

My circumstance doesn’t need to change as much as my thought process on it does.


I will walk by faith, not by how I feel.


Until next time, Pam

It seems like all we hear or talk about is the trouble in our lives or our nation’s division. Augustine had asked two questions of the world; “If there is no God, why is there so much good? If there is a God, why is there so much evil?”

What is familiar to you? Your children's voice, your spouse, your daily routine, the road you travel? We have many things very familiar to us. Webster defines familiar: common, well known, close association. The word origin from the Latin is, "the family footing."

It is day sixteen of war between Russia and Ukraine. “War can drive us all into the wilderness. Missiles drop, and we drop to our knees. We are a world wildly looking for a way out. We’re a hurting world, desperately fleeing – we see it all over our news screens.” (Ann Voskamp)

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved though him."
