Psalm 25:5 Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
I’m glad there are few one way streets in Hapeville. When I first moved to Americus, to attend GA Southwestern College, I was constantly confused and lost because of the one way roads. I remember trying to get to the grocery store. I could see the store but couldn’t get to it! Luckily I only turned the wrong way a couple of times while I lived there. When I did there was that sudden feeling of alarm. I didn’t want to get in a wreck and I didn’t want a traffic ticket. Once and a while in our lives we take a wrong turn. We head down a road that looks right at first then discover we are on the wrong path. Just a few drinks, just a little gambling, just charge this one expensive outfit. Soon we are way down the path, going in the wrong direction and seeing no near way to turn around. The way to drive safely is to pay close attention to the signs. God also offers us signs. We just have to ask for guidance and play close attention so we can hear the answers. Let God, not your temptations be your guide.
Loving God, there are times when we go the wrong way and find ourselves in trouble and it doesn’t seem that there’s an easy way to turn around. We ask for your strength and guidance. Thank you for the grace that always forgives when we sincerely come to you. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
