There Is A Way - God's Way!

Proverbs 14:12 

"There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death."

Our eldest daughter introduced us to a website called coolmath.com.  Her elementary school uses it to challenge students in their math and thinking skills.   It is a fun tool for kids and adults alike!  There is a brainteaser game she got our family playing last night called "Bloxorz."  Well, the fun continued this morning and we have to say this game is quite addicting!  The object of the game is to get a three dimensional, rectangle block to fall into a square hole that is placed somewhere along a square tile puzzle path.   Using the arrow keys, you maneuver the block and try to avoid falling off the edges of the tiles.  There are secret tiles and symbols placed strategically around the path.  Out of 33 levels we are up to level 20.  Up for a challenge?  Here's the link to the game:  http://www.coolmath-games.com/0-bloxorz/index.html.  Make sure you read the directions!!!  Have fun! This game brought the above scripture to mind this morning.  After reading the scripture, I recalled driving one day on some side streets to get on the freeway to my next destination.  Placing an important call to handle some business, I got deeply involved in conversation.  I merged onto the freeway and saw a familiar landmark that I was used to seeing but it was on the opposite side of the road.  My immediate thoughts were, "Wow... they just built another store on the other side of the freeway."  Because of my concentration on the phone discussion, it didn't dawn on me that I was going in the wrong direction.  It wasn't until I paid attention to the freeway signs that I realized I was going the wrong way.  I lost thirty minutes of my time going the wrong direction!  Like in the game "Bloxorz," there is a consequence for going in the wrong direction, you fall off the path and have to start over from the beginning of the puzzle.  In my instance it was lost time! So many times we make life changing decisions and think we are headed in the right direction but all of a sudden we figure out that our decisions have lead us the wrong way.  Tip of the day:  Pay attention to where you are going!  Keep the end in mind, but focus on your steps in getting there.  Every step today could affect your desired destination. Look ahead.  Choose God's path for your life and not your own.  Heed the warning signs of the Holy Spirit and you will end up where you need to be! Have a great day!  God bless you.
