Roadside signs warn us of dangers ahead and lead us in the direction we want to go. Signs along hiking trails do much the same things. Failure to heed the warnings and go in the direction that the signs lead will take us into danger and lead us away from the direction we want to go. God places His Word within us. Ignoring His warnings and choosing to go our own ways is what God calls sin. Rejecting God’s signposts surely leads us into danger and away from truth.
Deuteronomy 6:6, 8 says, “And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontle between your eyes.” God has put His Word into our hearts so that we can earnestly seek Him and know Him. We should remember and keep His Word in our actions and in our thoughts.
