That road sign is such a symbol for life! How many times have you been at a place where you've had to make a decision and just couldn't figure out which way was the best to take? And it always seems that the more we think about the choices that are before us, the more confused we get. More often than not what we're looking for is a simple kind of sign - STOP or YIELD or ONE WAY or NO TURN ON RED (one of my favorites 'cause it seems to say, "Go take a nap!"). No chance though. It's as if God knows that we can only grow through the process of decision making so he puts us into situations where we have to choose. We always have choices though. Let me give you three: 1) turn around and go back the way you came and hope an easier path will present itself (good luck with that!); 2) sit and ponder those choices 'til your head hurts and then finally make a random choice (that's always exciting - not always smart but exciting); 3) consider the choices before you and then pray for God to show you the right one (since in Jesus He did provide for us the way, the truth and the life, right?). Which one of those options will you choose because I'm personally sticking with the third one. God has prepared us a way to follow, a Spirit to lead us, and plenty of road signs along the way, visible to those who believe. (Special thanks to Chris Grabowski for the photo.)
