Hello friends! Boy what a beautiful day yesterday. I was able to get a bunch of stuff around the house done and work a little on our up coming Golf Tournament. I got to thinking about the Crusade a little bit and something I heard from some one that was helping pass out banana's to everyone. She told me that there was a woman complaining that we were backing traffic up and it was affecting the roadways. I got to thinking about this and want us to dig into some of the good stuff.
Our roads here in Tennessee seem to always need work. Everything from weather to heavy traffic cause damage. We have an increasing amount of traffic every year. So, it pretty much leaves our roadways under construction. Now, I have to ask you. When do they normally do construction on the roadways here in Tennessee? In the summer months you will see construction going on everywhere. On rural roads, interstates, main highway's, and they are even doing a major bridge in Knoxville. Next, I have to ask you another question. Do you see that it always takes longer than we think it should to complete the project? It leads to detours that we don't expect and sometimes one's that we get turned around on. It is just like the woman complaining about the Crusade backing up traffic. There was a detour around if she would have looked for it instead of focusing on the negative.
Just like the roads in Tennessee, our lives are always under construction. God is always working on us, healing the hurts, fixing the wounds, strengthening the weak spots, and smoothing out the pot holes. Guy's, pretty much, we are a work in progress!
Is that not awesome to know that, according to God's Word and His promise, He will continue to construct us into His image of Jesus until the day we stand in front of Him. Listen, until then, we must slow down. We need to not blow our cool over delays or detours. We need to pay attention to the sign thats posted "God at Work"!!! Have a great day, I love you, and God bless!!!
