Yesterday Carol, Dennis and I went to my parent’s house in Georgia to pick up some things my mother has given Carol. The low fuel light was glowing and I was trying to stretch it to get to Tifton for some of that cheap Georgia gas. Suddenly, traffic stacked up. Without thinking too much, I pulled the truck into the median and headed back to the previous exit and bought gas.
Life is a constant set of choices. We found out later that a watermelon truck that had burned caused the stack up. Would I have run out of gas? Would I have made it? No way to tell, at this point but sitting in the line, wondering if we were going to make it, would have been stress that I don’t need at this stage of my life. There are times to go backwards!
In our spiritual journey, we need to constantly evaluate our progress. The minute we discover that we’ve wandered off track, that we are going a direction not sanctioned by the Lord or we discover that we lack spiritual energy to get through --- we need to go backwards! Our journey should take us --- as fast as we can travel --- back to the place where we know we are in fellowship with the Lord.
Life is a constant set of choices. Do you need to pull onto the median today and get moving back to the source of spiritual power?
