Road Signs Road Signs
    by Gloria Gaither

    Lord we need to choose roads we can trust to take us to right destinations. The road sign here says “Old Burnt Mill Road”. This road leads not to a promise but a tragic disappointment — to a place that no longer exists. One could walk miles down this road and only come to the charred remains of someone else’s dreams. Yesterday, the sign I passed said “Dead End.” And sometimes there isn’t even a warning. The sign says “Old State Road 3,” but when the state opened the bypass, they just put up a guard rail across the old pavement. Now the road just stops. A promise of a journey that turns out to take you nowhere.

Thank you, Lord, for your road signs.
    Thank you, Lord, for your road signs, for they are always accurate.

The way of the transgressor is hard.
He who will endure to the end will be saved.
Narrow is the gate and straight the way that leads to eternal life.
Trust in the Lord and He shall direct your paths.

    You always tell us right up front exactly where lives paths will take us.

    Thank you most of all for making it simple. “I am the way, the truth and the life,” he said. If I want all the best destinations, I just have to choose you. That road will take me home.
