There’s an old Scottish song about Loch Lomond, the largest lake. It features the lyrics, “You take the high road and I’ll take the low road.” That’s a geographic reference, of course. But, in life, we’re challenged with choosing between the high road or the low road, whether it be in thought, word or deed. That’s because there’s always a person, or circumstance, that will test your resolve to love like God loves. When others go low, take the high road. It’s the only one that leads to a life of peace, joy, love and self-control (Matthew 7:13-14). The low road only leads to destruction, ruin, regret, pain, brokenness and emptiness.
