Today I was called out of the office to visit my Dad. It really wasn’t urgent, but he thought it was. On my way back through Butler, there was a fire in a house on Main Street that had US 6 shut down completely. Being raised in Butler, I knew my way around so I turned onto a side street to by-pass the blocked road.

Semi-trailers from both directions were traveling up and down those back streets, trying to find a detour around, but not knowing where they were going. It took a long time waiting for the semis to pass on those narrow back streets.

And I was reminded of how confusing it was before I came to Christ. I was lost in a lost world and didn’t know what turns to take. There were obstacles at every turn and no one to show me the way. Then I came to Christ, and learned that “narrow is the gate, and hard is the way, which leads to life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:14). God, help us to know where we’re going in life.
