When our prodigal, Josh, was 15, and in one of his better seasons as a prodigal, he served for a week as a junior counselor at a wilderness camp for at-risk boys. One activity included a five-mile hike, with each counselor leading a small group.

Josh and his boys came to a crossroads, looking for the right turn to take. Unfortunately they took the wrong turn, and their five-mile hike turned into 10 miles. When they finally made it back to camp, they were sore, tired and unhappy.

Whether we choose the wrong path, or end up there accidentally, it is almost always exhausting. But our God assures His way will give us rest.
