So anyway, please check out the album, highway photos...there are three pictures of highways there, the straight one with trees on both sides, the interstate with exits on both sides, and the night one with cars flying by! These images can very easily depict the paths of our lives...
This is what God reminded me of....we are all driving down our own little paths (or roads), and today while i was on the road he put this analogy in my thoughts. The highway assuming it's straight for the most part is like that path. The shoulders sometimes have rumble bars to keep people awake and on the road. So picture yourself on this straight hightway, if we swerve off to the right and hit that bumpy rumble bar (the rough parts of life) then that is kind of like a worldy, conforming worldview in a way.
Ya see, what God showed me today, is that you can see almost the entire world's cultural view just by drivin on the highway and observing it. If we drive our lives into the rumble bars on purpose, we probably live without Jesus on the throne. If we stay on the road and drive straight and try our best to stay between the lines, and God is on the throne, then Jesus is the focal point of our lives.
Life doesn't always have to be bumpy. If this is you, and you've already hit the rumble bars, and if feels like your headed toward the ditch or cornfield, turn the wheel a little back to the left, and steer towards the one who created your very own highway. He loves you, and if you move over and sit in the passenger's seat, and let Him drive, He will completely bless your life!
That's a really good way to think about it! I really like this post! :)
