The Perfect Rule for the Path of Life
2 Samuel 22:33-34
God is my strength and power: and he makes my way perfect.


"The Bible is so strict and old-fashioned," said a young man to a greyhaired friend who was advising him to study God's Word if he would learn how to live. "There are plenty of books written nowadays that are moral enough in their teaching, and don't bind me down as the Bible does." The old merchant turned to his desk and took down a couple of rulers, one of which was slightly bent. With each of these he ruled a line, and silently handed the ruled paper to his companion. "Well," said the lad, "what do you mean?" One line is straight and true, is it not? Now, my young friend, when you mark your path in life, do not use a crooked ruler!"
