Years ago, when we'd travel, it was a common sight to see "Burma Shave Signs" posted along the roadside. There'd be 5 or 6 signs that carried a message, which usually gave us a laugh and were rather clever. We still see SIGNS on the roads today. Let's take a look at some of them:
SPEED LIMIT SIGNS - Most of us exceed the speed limit 'cause we always seem to be in such a hurry. The police usually allow us 5-miles of "grace" before ticketing us. God's grace allows us even more! There's also danger if we go too slow. Going too slow can cause accidents or cause us to miss out on opportunities.
LOAD LIMIT SIGNS - This generally applies to those who carry big loads. We're to give our burdens to the Lord....not carry or exceed the required amount.
STOP SIGNS - Many are so distracted by the cares of the world that they drive right through stop signs. They never look for the warning sign to STOP or pull over to a REST STOP.
NO PASSING SIGN - We have to "get ahead" of the guy in front of us. We can't wait...we must be 1st in line, etc.
DETOUR, DEADEND, and WRONG WAY SIGNS are posted for our protection. Yet many ignore them and continue on anyway. This results in injuries and even death.
I could go on-and-on....but I think you get the message! What SIGNS will you see today? Read them (carefully)....and heed them! In so doing, you'll arrive safely.
Remember "the JOY is in the JOURNEY" when you go with Jesus!
