Road Construction 7/23/2014

Good Morning,

My schedule is a full one today. I have filled my coffee mug with Door County Cherry Crème Coffee and plan on taking some to work with me. A little smoked salmon and crackers for lunch later and then back home after a work out.

Sounds like my day is all planned out. It probably will have a change in the schedule or two. I would almost bet on it. Another detour to navigate through.

Our winter in Wisconsin was a tough one last year. Our roads took a beating from the deep frost, snow and salt. Everywhere I go the roads are under construction for repairs. Some are actually closed. What used to be a drive by memory to work is now a challenge. One actually has to pay attention to signs, news and orange lane closure barrels.

If you don't, you end up like many drivers I have seen this summer trying to back up and get into the correct lane. They did not pay attention and at times caused huge traffic back ups because of their mistakes. The signs were there, but they were ignored.          

Galatians 5:21        

Envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God

All through life God warns us when we are headed down the wrong road. He has given us His Word that guides, teaches, warns, and leads us in our battle with choices that lead to sin.

But like many we ignore the signs and won't back up until it is too late and the calamity of our choices has begun. God also uses the authority of leaders and government to warn us. In Wisconsin it is illegal to drive intoxicated and we are all warned as to the consequences, yet we do it and receive the punishment when we are caught. God also send others to mentor us and show us the right way. But all to often like a flagman on the highway the warning sign is ignored.

So today as you travel and you see road signs try to remember that God desires to lead us down the right road in life, just as the road signs are designed to get you to your destination safely.

Have a great day. Travel safe.
