Read the signs!

The local municipality have finally built a speed bump on the main road outside our Church entrance. It is about time as people use this road as a race track most days. I think we have been asking the authorities for this "hump" for around 9 years now - better late than never I suppose.

What has been fascinating to note is that the white lines haven't been painted on the bump as yet (they are waiting for the tar to set first) and so people are hitting the bump at their usual speed! Needless to say there have been lots of surprised drivers heading along Cleland road and I am sure there has been a fair amount of cursing too!

But here is the thing. There are clearly marked SIGNS on either side of the bumps, warning people of the new bumps. In fact, the SIGNS were put up over a week ago, preparing people for this new change, but people have ignored the signs. It is only as they have hit the speed bumps at some speed, that they take note of the signs.

People are people. We are all the same...the signs are there for our protection and to help us out, but when we choose to ignore them, we land up with whiplash!

So, what signs are you ignoring today?
What is happening in your spiritual life that is acting as a warning sign?
What is happening in your family that is shouting "Take Note" or what signs are you seeing at work or at school?

Please can I urge us all to take note of the signs that God places before us. They are not signs to be a "kill joy" but rather to protect us and prosper us. As we near Holy Week, Jesus fulfilled many of the signs of the prophets, but the people chose to ignore the signs.

John 12:27 - "But despite all the miraculous signs Jesus had done, most of the people still did not believe in him."

Let's not do the same.
