The Roosevelt Arch

On April 24, 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt laid the cornerstone for the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park near Gardiner, Montana. The majestic arch built of stone was completed by the US Army. The arch includes an inscription from the 1872 legislation that created Yellowstone as the first national park: "For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People."

People arrived in Gardiner by train and were loaded onto horse-drawn carriages. But the wide-open landscape of Gardiner, Montana needed a defined entrance to provide a sense of arrival. The Roosevelt Arch remains an iconic landmark to this day.

When we arrive somewhere for the first time, it's helpful to have markers to indicate we're in the right place. God encouraged his people to put up spiritual road signs so they could find their way back to him (Jeremiah 31:21). He also reminded them to ask for directions to find the old, godly way and walk in it (Jeremiah 6:16). If they would walk on the godly path, they would find rest.

Sometimes we are determined to blaze a new trail, when God has laid out an established path that would be easier. If we would follow the signs left for us, we would walk with peace and confidence.

Set up road signs; put up guideposts. Mark well the path by which you came. Come back again, my virgin Israel; return to your towns here.

Jeremiah 31:21

This is what the LORD says: "Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls. But you reply, 'No, that's not the road we want!'"

Jeremiah 6:16

Do you tend to blaze trails or follow the established path? Ask God what kind of path you are on, what road signs to look for, and whether you are on the right path.

Autorenporträt

Greetings from Montana!

I'm Christy Bower, author of more than fifty books, including two books by Our Daily Bread, which have gone into four or more printings.

For those of you who like to know my qualifications, I have a Master of Arts in Biblical Studies from Multnomah Biblical Seminary. American Christian Writers has twice named me "Writer of the Year." And I'm a multi-time winner of NaNoWriMo, a challenge to write 50,000 words in a month. Out of this challenge, I drafted The Legend of Dragon Hollow. I'm also the creator of Crossword Bible Studies, which provide a fun and easy way to spend a few minutes in the Bible.

As for the rest of you who simply want to know what kind of person I am, Coca Cola is my lifeblood. I drive a hatchback car because I value economy and versatility. I never used a smart phone until March 2019. I spend an excessive amount of time on the Internet when I should be writing. And I've never owned a pet of any kind.

I rely on God's provision through book sales to pay my bills. I would like to thank you for your purchase because you just put a meal on my table! Buy a couple more books and I could put some gas in my hatchback!

If you enjoyed one of my books, please tell a friend or, better yet, leave a star rating on the site where you purchased it. This isn't to boost my ego, but to help other readers make their purchase decisions.

Blessings to you!

Christy
