OBEY THE SIGNS!
Proverbs 16:25 – Devotional
Proverbs 16:25
“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.“
One time I noticed a young woman slouched over speaking into a cell phone. My eyes were drawn to the sign that she was leaning against. It read: DEAD END STREET.
Wow! That hit me like a ton of bricks. How many times do we see people around us who are living on a dead-end street? We also can face many dead-end streets in our own life.
Even though there are caution signs, all too often people fail to ignore the warning signs and suddenly come to a sudden and catastrophic stop at the end. Warning signs are the time to either turn around or collide.
We may listen to the sweet enticement to seek the pleasures of sin, but to do so will inevitably lead us onto a dead-end street. Sad! Sad! The bitter wail!
But there is an option. If we find ourselves on a dead-end street, we need to immediately make a U-turn. In Scripture we find that U-turn described by one word…REPENTANCE! If you are on a dead-end street, repent as soon as possible. When I was a teen we had an expression: “TURN! DON’T BURN!”
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
