It's been a few months since I posted a blog. I think my mind was in idle through the first of the year. But today as I was driving, I saw a street sign that was different from most of what I usually see. Most of the street signs in North Carolina are green. This street sign was in blue. Then I remembered why. Streets that are through streets have their signs in green. Streets that are a dead end, with no way out, are in blue.
And it struck me how often we are on a path that leads to a dead end. We don't always look for the signs before we take off down a path, hoping for the best. Dead ends bring nothing but frustration, bad temper and despair. While there aren't any green or blue signposts to guide us, we do have direction.
Before we start any task, we need to take it to the Lord in prayer. We need to ask Him for direction on which path to take and check in with him along the way. And we also need to continue to consult the "direction atlas" he has given us, the Bible. We can't always see a street sign as we go through life, but if we look for the guidance from Our Father, the path will be one which we can see more clearly.
