If “Life is a Highway”, “How’s My Driving?”

I was recently provoked to certain thoughts after reading what this drunk had to say.

If Life Is A Highway Then How’s My Driving?

·        Am I driving under the influence of alcohol or other illegal substances?

·        Am I driving distracted?

·        Am I driving recklessly?  Swerving in & out of traffic & changing lanes with no regard for the others on the road with me?

·        Am I speeding?

·        Am I listening & looking for emergency vehicles?

·        Do I know where I’m going? …hmmm…

Do I know where I’m going?

My father says that I’m directionally challenged.  I prefer to explain that I have trouble multi-tasking when task #1 is driving & task #2 is navigating unfamiliar territory.

When I go somewhere new I have to be thorough. 

·        I check my trusty Google maps.

·        Ask my dad if Google is correct.

·        Print off a map including highlights of tricky parts.

·        Check to avoid construction, inclement weather & rush-hour traffic.

I do my research & I use ALL my resources!

What if we DAILY approach the highway of life with the same thoroughness?

What if we:

• Check our trusty map (Deuteronomy 17:19)
• Ask our Dad how the map applies today (Proverbs 19:20)
• Print off a copy to take with us highlighting the tricky parts(Psalm 119:11)
• Check to avoid construction, inclement weather & rush-hour traffic(Psalm 81:13)

While we're at it, why don't we take Dad with us?  He IS after all THE BEST navigator around.
