Fantastic Friday #219 - Roads

Roads

⁴As is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet:
"A voice of one calling in the desert,
'Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.
⁵Every valley shall be filled in,
every mountain and hill made low.
The crooked roads shall become straight,
the rough ways smooth.
⁶And all mankind will see God's salvation.' " Luke 3:4-6

Every day we travel on some kind of road. Whether it be that path from the bed to the kitchen, the door to the car, the car to our job, or the path back to our bed at night. Along those roads we might stub our toe, trip on a hose across a sidewalk, hit a bump in the road, or slip on the wet kitchen floor. All of these little things can bring about a moment of being startled, and as soon as we are done with the pain or surprise we continue on the path we were traveling on. Now, you begin to ask yourself why you weren't paying close enough attention to the road in front of you, and if you had you wouldn't be in pain. As you look back at the day and the many roads you traveled and the many people you came in contact with, how many of them did you really pay close attention to, and how many can you see yourself paving the way for Christ's return by showing the straight path you travel. We might have stubs, trips, bumps, or slips in our life as we travel on the road, but we need to remember to pay more attention to our path on that road and how we might be able to show others that road to Christ.

Have a great weekend.
