Road Signs: Part 2

Yesterday I talked about Declaration Road, where we get a vision of our life, declare it, and move on down that road.

But what happens along the way, when “life comes at you fast”?

I found a few more road signs that might give us some clues.
Think for a moment about “Valley Forge Lane” and “Bunker Hill Lane.”

Perhaps you’re going through a valley in your life. During the darkest, lowest times in life, character is being formed. Our strength and purpose arises after it is pounded on the forge of high heat, pressure and poundings.

I realize that these two street names are the names of famous battles fought in Virginia. Perhaps you’ve been struggling with some big battle – whether spiritual, physical, being challenged, persecuted, or having to make a major life decision.

But look at the intersection of Declaration Road and Crown Point Lane! Does this speak to your spirit?! Once you declare the great things you want in your life and turn your life towards it like flint, strong and purposeful, you will end up at Crown Point. You will receive your just and due reward when you persevere and keep your eyes focused on the ultimate goal and destination!

What can you take from all this for your life?

I urge you today to make sure you are on your own Declaration Road. Be sure you know where you are going by following this road. Where is it taking you? Is this where you ultimately want to go? What road signs are you reading along the way to make sure you’re going in the right direction, so you’ll end up where you want to go?

Keep yourself focused and accountable and you will arrive at your Crown Point in due time! This would be a good time to read or recite Psalm 23 and remember who goes with you on the journey, even through the valley, to keep you heading in the right direction.
