Grandma lived on a farm, and she had a little flock of ducks. These ducks were supposed to stay in the backyard away from the road so that they would not get hit on the road or wander off and get lost. But it seemed like the ducks didn’t remember very long, and soon they would come waddling around to the front yard.
“You ducks, get back in the backyard!” Grandma would order. Then they would turn around and waddle back to the backyard where they belonged.
Pretty soon here they would come again, and Grandma would tell them again, “You ducks, get back in the backyard!”
Sometimes we are just like those ducks — we often forget. God has to show us again and again what is the right way for our feet. He knew we would forget easily, so He gave us His Word, the Bible, to read every day to remind us of the right path.
