Psalm
16:11, "Thou wilt shew me the path of life; in thy presence is fulness of
joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore."
Being
on the wrong road does not have to be a "death sentence." It is
sometimes difficult to admit, "I have made a wrong turn." The sooner
one stops and checks the road map, the sooner one can get back on the right
road headed in the right direction.
The
same is true in our spiritual life. One must admit, I have taken the wrong
exit, or sometimes just kept on going on the same road that was taking them
further and further from the intended destination. Actually now is a good time
to talk to the Lord and confess one's disobedience or whatever distraction caused the error. This is not an easy task but it is the only one that
works.
People
call it different things such as indifference, stubbornness, and hardheadedness, to
name a few. The Bible uses some words like rebellious, stiff-necked, blind,
unaware, dreamers, complainers, those who have gone in the way of Cain. I think
the bottom line is that those who have gotten on the wrong road just don't have the
strength or the desire to stop and evaluate where they are headed. They go
deeper and deeper into depression, loneliness, confusion, and heartache which
can lead to spiritual death. All because they were not willing to check with
the Word of God (The Spiritual road map). They move further and further from
understanding what the Will of God is for their life. They can no longer reason
out what to do and are overtaken by guilt from their failure in following the
wrong road.
Being on the wrong road does not have to be a "death sentence." The Lord knows the way you should go. Cry out to Him in your despair and listen to His voice. When He speaks and gives you direction, follow His directions, the sooner the better. He can lead you out of your dilemma and set you on a straight path. A path that leads to a much better ride with a clear and determined destination of Eternal Life at the end of the way.
