A Squirrel In The Road

A Squirrel in the road:
This week as I was thinking about roads and signposts and choices,
I was on our road right out here and as I turned the corner, I saw a squirrel
He was halfway across when he noticed me
I didn’t have room to stop
He froze in the middle, he started across, started back, totally freaked out
And didn’t know which way to go
He doesn’t have a clue which way is best or safest
Have you ever felt like that Squirrel?
You don’t know which way to turn, you feel confused, scared, in danger
We have something the squirrel doesn’t – the Word of GOD
We have God’s word that tells us to take the road less traveled
We have God’s word that tells us that the law cannot save us,
That we will never be able to live up to the standard of perfection required by the law
We have the Word of God that tells us that the way to gain acceptance from GOD
The way to have a right standing before God – to gain righteousness
Is by Faith alone, in Jesus alone, by the grace of God alone – He has marked out the path for us with his blood, with the cross point us to HIM
