Road Closed

Road Closed

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

Matthew 7:13-14

Today I had to take my niece to Downtown Columbus for a doctors appointment.  We left the appointment, entered our destination in the GPS and off we went towards home.  We were venturing towards 71 when all of a sudden up ahead, with no warning, there were big barriers and a sign that said ROAD CLOSED - FOLLOW DETOUR. We only had .3 miles to go to get to 71. We were almost there! So we had to turn off. When we turned there were no detour signs.  We had no idea where to go. So we kept venturing till we found 71 signs. We finally made it to the highway.  All I could say was “Thank You Jesus.”

As I was recalling all this in my head. I was thanking God we didn't get lost and that we made it safely to 71. All of a sudden I felt my spirit quicken and  a life lesson was dropped in my lap.  

A lot of us make bad choices in life.  Bad choices that lead us away from God. We think we have gone to far and that there is no turning back, your sin cant be forgiven, not this time.  But oh sweet soul, God will give you signs.  He will put ROAD CLOSED - DETOUR signs in your path.  He will try to stop you and guide you back to His heart. 

Sometimes when you are working your way back to God, there will be confusion and questioning which way to go. But keep following Him. Don't go through the ROAD CLOSED signs and face danger that is unknown.  Take the detour, let God guide you back to His heart.
