The humble road...so many pass over it, taking for granted that it will lead them to their destination. Oh, they may notice the other flashy cars around, and they may spot the impressive homes and yards along the way, but they won't think much about the road...that is, unless age and weather have caused cracks and potholes and the resulting bumps in the ride. But the reality is that when we follow the familiar road and the road of the map, we can generally depend on it to get us where we have to go. One road can handle many vehicles and can serve for many years. At any point in time, only one vehicle can occupy a particular place on the road. In a similar way Jesus is the dependable road to carry us to the heavenly destination. I think we forget sometimes, as we travel on Christ's road, that He never leaves us and has committed to seeing us safely home. He is an amazing road, with the capacity to carry many travelers over many years, but at any point in time everyone of us occupies a unique place on the road...and the road will take us home.
Deuteronomy 2:27 ‘Let me pass through your land; I will keep strictly to the road, and I will turn neither to the right nor to the left."
