The well-traveled road isn’t always the safest way to go.
We sometimes feel so secure following roads built by those before us. Our independent spirit believes that, even on unknown roads, we can go on our own without a guide searching the way before us. Even in torrential, flooding storms, we put our faith in the road, without thought to a guide that may say it’s unsafe. In our independence, we ignore warnings and continue to follow the road. What we don’t understand is that the guide has searched out the road ahead and has seen that the storm has washed it out ahead of us, and that destruction can come if we continue.
We may travel the same road in life over and over, but we need to still keep our radio tuned to The Guide, who sees what is ahead, so we can hear the warnings about things to come and take the recommended detour. He wants to prevent our destruction, and will save us if we allow Him to do so.
