Last night, police chased a driver who was travelling the wrong way on 71 highway. At speeds reaching 100 miles per hour, the driver ran others off the road. Eventually he decided to give it up. He drove to his own house and was captured there by police.
Hmm.
Which direction are you going in life? Are you heading the wrong direction at 100 miles per hour? Are your feet swift to find trouble? Are you crushing under your feet those whom you love? Are people that are going the right direction worried about you? Do you decide to go home way late in the game?
Don't give me that, you know if you are going the wrong direction. And you know where home is.
Are you making excuses for yourself? Are you giving in to selfishness? Are you demanding for yourself? Are you hurting others? Are you giving no regard to the will and purpose of God? Are you going deeper into debt? Do you see yourself as a victim? Do you think the world owes you something? Have you lost your joy? Is it all about you?
Most people eventually grow tired of a life that is heading the wrong direction. Sometimes they don't stop running until late into the night. When they finally give up, they have hurt so many, and have painted themselves into a corner. They want to go home, but they end up in a prison of their own making.
We have today. It is an opportunity to make good choices. It is a chance to reach out to others, to see beyond my needs, to become a dispenser of grace. If you are going the wrong direction, today would be a good day to turn around. There is no time like the present to find home. If you need help, call me or call any of your friends from Woods Chapel Church.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
