Thick smoke

1 July 2011

Proverbs 9:6 Leave simpleness, and live, and walk in the way of insight."

The drama of a veldt fire on the side of a highway with the wind blowing thick smoke over the road is a very scary experience at the best of times. It is amazing how many people do not even slack down but carry on through the smoke at speed. Yesterday somebody was burning a fire break and with the wind blowing it was soon out of control, the smoke billowed over the road and the flames were shooting high into the sky. Cars travelling did not realise that one car had stopped in the middle of the highway because of the smoke, and within seconds about ten cars and a taxi were scattered damaged all over the road.

We saw the smoke in the distance and slowed down and had to pass the accident scene via the centre median of the highway. It was a shocking sight.

In the same way we see many things that could harm us and a wise person becomes wiser when they take the appropriate action and enter the smoke with caution. In life there are many things that cloud our vision and we should take care so that we make our decisions while we have clear sight. Some of these things that cloud our view could be physical, emotional or spiritual, or mental and we should not rush blindly on without first seeing where we are going.

Be encouraged today to not to loose sight of the road you are on.

David

Point to ponder: Keep your eyes on Jesus.

Question to consider: Are you sometimes blinded by the smoke of life?
