In Deal’s Gap, North Carolina, there’s an 11 mile patch of road in the mountains called “The Tail of the Dragon.” Motorcyclists and sports cars from all over the world come to navigate its 318 curves. Although its a challenge, and the driver must be on his toes the entire time, it can be negotiated successfully.  One unhealthy swerve, however, can result in disaster for the rider.

God told David that if his son, Solomon, would serve Him with unswerving devotion, his kingdom would be established forever. We all know Solomon failed at this goal. There was another great King, born under quite contrasting conditions … in a manger … Who DID exemplify an unswerving ability to live His life here on earth, and HIS KINGDOM is established FOREVER AND EVER.

Life may seem like it has too many curves, but with the help of the Holy Spirit and the blood of Jesus, we can keep on the road and ultimately arrive at our destination: HEAVEN.
