Do you remember what automobile travel was like in the days before the development of modern highways?
I remember they were narrow, winding, slow, poor visibility, dangerous and tiring. Depending how far you were traveling it would take hours and days longer compared with the roads we have today. Today everything is planned out for curves, speed, and visibility. Traffic in many instances glides safely and smoothly.
Proverbs 3:6 - In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. NKJV
Proverbs 3:6 - In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will level your paths. CJB
Another version says: "Having mind of him whereever you may go, and he will clear the road for you.
God has promised to lead, guide, or show you the way.
The Lord's guidance will always keep us from having to follow a round-about path. He will clear the road ahead of us and get us to our destination by the safest, straightest route possible. Unless He just wants to take you on a scenic drive there will be back road, no detours, no raodblocks, no lost time.
Just travel straight ahead and on the right track.
What a God we serve.

Chick-fil-A thoughts
By now many in America are aware of the comments made by the COO of Chick-fil-A, a corporation that is owned and operated by those of strong Christian Belief and Faith. They were asked a simple question about their stand on the hot subject of lesbians, gays and homosexuals. As I recall Mr Cathy said simply, "We do not promote the gay/lesbian agenda. We will serve anyone who comes to our establishment however." Chicago and Boston retorted that they were discriminating against gays. We have gay/pride days across our country and in our nations capitol. People on everyside make their remarks. No one takes away their voice and ability to speak their minds.
Look out! With the continual encroachment upon and against Christian values it is now possible for people of "power" (small "p" here) to sway persons and ply for the vote for their office in any manner or way they wish without regard of the consequence.
"Thank the Lord we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles" Mr. Cathy added in the interview that led to the controversy.
I agree. Let's keep our freedom alive. Read the Bible (God's Word to Us) and see what happens for those who remember God and see what happens for those who refuse God. The difference is dramatic on both sides of this picture.
"Choose ye this day whom ye will serve, as for me and my house we will serve the Lord." Words sopken of Joshua to a rebellious group in the Old Testament Record.
We must pay attention and choose wisely. There is only one way out of her alive the other is death. Choose.
