It was a number of years ago when navigation was more primitive and Captains could get themselves in a heap of trouble.
This was not a good idea when there shorelines lined with rocks and waves sent all kind of craft crashing into them.
On a particular night in question a captain caught in a raging storm realized that he really didn’t know where he was in relation to the shoreline coming up. The lighthouse wasn’t doing its job for whatever reason.
At this moment a passenger came up to him and asked,” How are things going Captain?
“Going,” the captain, replied, “Well, in the first place we’re lost, but as for going we’re sure making good time.”
Most of us are fortunate. We don’t get ourselves in quite that bad a pickle. We have roadsides signs that point where it would be best and better for us to go. And we have a Biblical lighthouse that is always available.
This Bible speaks with a great clarity. It puts out signs with a single word on them; honor, honesty, love, forgiveness.
And as we travel we find construction signs and the construction they are talking about is “us.” What are we constructing? When it is finished will it have been worth the time and effort? Will it be good for those around us?
And as we travel if we have chosen the wrong road how easy will it be to exit? There is a thing called addiction and some addictions are a daily trip to hell.
So yes, in our travels through life we need to discipline any disorder to which we find ourselves becoming addicted to…and follow the right signs…and don’t rush forward until we are sure we are not rushing toward disaster.
