Read the Signs

 

We have been blessed with the opportunity to travel overseas. On a few occasions, we traveled around the countryside in a rental car. I always made it a point to learn enough of the local language before going so that I could try to read the signs and warnings along the road.

 

We need to be able to read the signs around us, not just the signs of the times in our society but the signs God puts up to direct us in our own lives. God loves us and wants us to follow along the path that will be the best for us and for His kingdom. He will give us signs but we have to be willing and able to read them.

 

We read in Proverbs, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight” (Prov 3:5-6).

 

Commit your ways to the Lord and ask Him to help you see and understand the signs He puts before you. Then see what He will do.
