The Two Ways

Verses of the day - Psalm 1:1-2 (NRSV)

Happy are those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path that sinners tread, or sit in the seat of scoffers; but their delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law they meditate day and night.

In chapter 9 of my fourth book, Jesus tells us that there are two ways we can live our life.

Excerpt from Called By God

There are two ways to live your life, My dear children.  One way is to follow the ways of the world which are evil.  The other way is to follow the path of the righteous.  Those who follow My Ways delight in Me.  They will be persecuted for their beliefs, but they do not let that stop them.  Be strong in your faith and follow Me.  Everyone who follows Me will be protected.

In life, we have a choice as to how we desire to live.  We can either follow the ways of the world because that is what everyone else is doing, or we can stand out from the crowd and follow Jesus.  Before we are born to New Life In Christ, we are like Nicodemus.  We do not understand anything other than earthly things.  When we are born again, we begin to see things from Jesus' point of view.  We change our ways and become a follower of Jesus instead of being a follower of the world.  When we become a follower of Jesus and our faith is strong, we will be persecuted.  No matter what type of persecution we face because of our belief in Jesus, we will always be protected by the mighty hand of God.
