The Road Less Traveled
The Road less Traveled: How I learned to seek God diligently and truly know Him.

Combined these mean “man outside”. The responsibilities of the nomad outside of the tent include the feeding, watering and caring for the livestock. Livestock are healthier and more productive when on a routine, therefore the man follows a routine or “a prescribed path” each day when caring for his livestock. (eng: reek)

The “man outside” is the physical man as opposed to the “man inside” (spiritual man).
The physical man follows a prescribed path to reach a specific destination set for the spiritual man.
The prescribed path is diligently seeking God; I have found that to be accomplished through physical actions of the “outside man” that generate spiritual results of the “inside man:”
Devotions
Tongues
Tithe and Offerings
Speaking God’s Word
Fasting
Obedience
Perseverance
Following the prescribed path above has brought me to one destination: God Himself. It is the very definition of diligently seeking Him.
That is His Word in action:
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
The reward is God Himself.
Genesis 15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
Knowing God is the one goal He has set for everyone to strive for:
Jeremiah 9:24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
This is the path I have chosen; it is the road less traveled.
