Life is a Highway

(John Vann)

Life seems like you’re headed down a dead-end road? You’re going full throttle with no regards for what lies ahead. You see all the warning signs. What’s it going to take to make you realize that you’re heading toward a terrible disaster? What’s it going to take to get you to put the brakes on and turn around?

Maybe your steering is out of alignment and you keep wandering off course. If this is you, then you need to get your life back in alignment. If you’re headed down that dead-end road, then you need to turn around because you’re going the wrong way.

Maybe you’ve come to a crossroads in your life and you don’t know which way you should go. One direction seems smooth and easy, the road is wide, and there’s many people going that way. The other way is narrow and rough. It doesn’t appear that it has been traveled as much. But that’s the way your GPS tells you to go. GPS stands for God’s Protective Spirit. The narrow road leads you to eternal joy.

Both roads are one-way roads, but they travel beside each other. This is so that if you see someone on the wide road that has broke down and they need your help, you can stop and help that person to find safety.

So which way are you going to go? You can’t just stay where you’re at and keep looking back. Because if that’s where you are at, if you’re sitting at the crossroads, looking back, then one day someone is going to choose your direction for you.

Let me try to explain it to you this way. If you are sitting on the fence and on one side is being a Christian and on the other side is being of this world, but you think that you can sit on the fence and not have to choose a side. Then one day you’ll die and the devil will come out and he will tell you that he owns the fence.

I pray that you’ve chosen the narrow way. Steering neither to the left nor the right, nor spend all your time looking back behind you. If you grow weary, then let Jesus take the wheel. It will not always be easy traveling, and you may find detours along the way. But your insurance is that you are in good hands with Jesus. On the narrow road, even with the detours, all roads lead Home.
