Heed the Signposts
And your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way; walk in it, when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left hand.
Isaiah 30:21
Suppose you are driving along the road. In the middle of the road are lines. Some are double yellow lines warning that if you cross them, you run a high risk of being in a head- on- collision. Some are broken white lines that mean you can cross into the other lane and pass the car in front of you as long as you are cautious and check for oncoming traffic.
There are also signposts that give you specific direction or warning: "Detour", "One Way", "Under Construction", "Curve Ahead". If you heed to the instructions, you will avoid getting into an unsafe situation.
The same is true in life. There are spiritual signposts that instruct us about how to stay under God's protection. We must listen, obey and heed to God's warnings. God gives us all we need to live a safe, fun, abundant, glorious life. The key is to pay attention to the signposts and follow the Lords directions.
