Today my mom picked me up from my college in Beaver Falls, PA. On the way home, I noticed something really interesting about the road signs. On all the exit signs, the city of Pittsburgh was listed as a destination. First was the Cranberry exit that listed Pittsburgh and Erie. Other signs included Pittsburgh and Butler, Pittsburgh and Monroeville and the list goes on. It almost seemed like subliminal messages. As if the signs were saying "YOU SHOULD BE GOING TO PITTSBURGH." As we passed each of the signs I started thinking.
God sends us signs all the time to exit. Get off here, start a new destination. We don't listen. We keep driving. The awesome thing about God's grace is he gives us multiple chances to reach the same destination. You are never too far from God to go back to Him. He loves you and He will accept you no matter where you are in your life.
No matter how far you drive, there is always a way back to Pittsburgh. It might involve a U-turn or a lot of hours driving. What if instead of fighting off God's calling in your life you just listen and get off the appropriate exit? God has given you the top of the line GPS, the best you can buy, the bible. In it are directions to reaching your calling and improving your relationship with your Creator. Your GPS will recalculate for you when you get off track but it won't easy. God loves you so much that He gives you so many chances to come back to Him. Who else would wait around for you to love Him like He does?
Challenge of the Day:
Save yourself the hassel. Get off the exit. Stop fighting God's calling in your life. The longer you run away from it the more hurt you are going to face on the way back. The farther you have to drive, the more chances you have of getting speeding tickets and flat tires along the way. God's plans for you are far greater than what you could ever imagine for your own life.
Love in Christ
