Pay attention to the signs

on the Road of Life

As we travel through life, a prudent traveler pays attention to the road signs along the way. They are for our own good and make the trip easier and safer.

Remember you can take only one route at a time. Don't be distracted by other's routes. Pay attention to your own trip.
Look for the signs. It is a hard road when you choose to walk by faith, and not by sight, so you must be on the lookout constantly for God's signs.
Use the rest stops. Take comfort, get away, rest in God and His Word. Let God take care of you.
Be patient with detours. They are provided for your protection. They may take a bit longer, but they also may take you on far more interesting roads.
Observe the speed limits. Sometimes you get so caught up in your own progress that you don't pay attention to the needs of others. God's way isn't always the fastest because it takes time to care, nurture, listen, and help.
Check your direction. You may be on the right road, but traveling in the wrong direction. Check your map often. Pray. If you are concerned that you may not be on the right road, read Psalm 40.
Look out for road-closed signs. God places these signs on our road when obstacles in the way would threaten our safety. Don't be disappointed when things you want don't come to you.
Enjoy the open road. This is a road with no obstacles to stop or slow you down. It is a time of grace, progress in your faith, and given as an encouragement of your journey.
Enjoy the trip. You don't have to rush through life. Savor the moments along the way. The journey is just as important as the destination. Remember that your destination leads to life.
