My wife and I spent the last two days in Chicago. I love the city. And, of course, I love the Cubs. I love the lakeside and the riverside. Chicago has its share of problems, but there is also a lot to enjoy.
Getting around Chicago can be difficult. We’ve been there several times, so we are somewhat familiar with its layout. Newcomers must rely on Maps and road signs, or the kindness of strangers. Once you get the hang of it, you can get around quite easily.
Don’t you wish that we could have road signs for life. It would be great have road sign pop up whenever we needed to make a life decision. Once we got the hang of it, gliding through life would be easy.
Unfortunately, those road signs do not exist in the world. However, God does want to show us the way we should live. He gave us His Word to lead us in paths of righteous living. For those who have accepted His salvation in Jesus, He has promised His Holy Spirit to direct our way. He gives us another promise in Psalm 143:8 when the Psalmist asks, “Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.” If we ask, God will guide us in His steadfast love and mercy. Once we get the hang of it, we too will grow in steadfast love, mercy and righteous living.
