How to Get Back on the Straight Path

 Proverbs 3:6  In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.

Imagine a plane flying from NY to LA in a straight line. Before takeoff, if the flight pattern is adjusted just 3 degrees, about 80 inches, the plane will arrive closer to Tijuana, Mexico, over 120 miles away from LA! So goes our life. We are creatures of habit. The little day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, bad habits, whether they be mindless distractions, poor "micro" choices, or just plain unhealthy, unproductive time-wasters, become death by inches of our character and dreams. They are small course adjustments that inch by inch take us farther from our goals.

Proverbs 3:6 says, "In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." When we give Christ control of our life, He becomes our daily "flight pattern" adjuster. He makes us aware of those "death by inches" bad habits and choices and shows us how to get back on the straight path.
