There are no road signs on the path to Hell because they don't want you to know where you're going. There are no mile markers on the road to Hell because they don't want you to know how far you've come.
I have often thought life would be much easier if there were road signs along the way. Why can't the directions just be right in front of us? Things would be so much simpler. But, if life has taught me one thing it is that the "simple" and the "easy" do not always match up with the GOOD.
Road signs may come in handy, but are they good? I think a great big question mark may be the best thing that God can give us sometimes. It is in those times when we don't have a clue that Faith grows. You don't need Faith to follow a road sign; you do need Faith to keep moving in the direction God has called no matter the obstacles.
So, we have to pay attention, or we may find ourselves on the wrong road. But it is that need to watch our steps, those times of wondering, that make us look deeply into Who God is. When we do this we can plainly see what He would have us to do. Who He is guides into where He wants us to be. And that is better than a road sign. Through those times we not only learn how to get to God, we learn how to walk like He walked.
