Do you know where you’re going to? Do you like the things that life is showing you? Do you know the way to San Jose? Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
These are all good questions. But the right question doesn’t come from
a pop music. The right question is: Do I have God in my heart and love in my soul?
And is there room for Jesus?
Did I tell you I bought a puppy to help with the loneliness?
He is a very sweet dalmatian and I name him Hondo. The other day I took him for
his very first walk. I thought that I was safe in my unitard & fanny pack
but I wasn’t out five minutes before a group of young teens drive up to me on a
golf cart. They threw their cans of Diet Mountain Dew at me and tease me for the
clothes I wear. One of them jump off the cart and kick Hondo, who is too young
and small to defend himself. It was cruelty. Do I have the right to wear a fanny
pack and walk my dog? Not in Texas.
When the kids were driving away I shouted Bible verses after
them so that they might think of what they done and feel remorse and come back
and help me dry off. “Pleasant words are as honeycomb, sweet to the soul and
health to the bones! Proverbs 16:24!” I am not sure they heard my words because
they were laughing and singing to wild scary music.
This made me think of a very good question: how many of us
are unable to hear God’s words because we are laughing, because we are content
and self-righteous? How many of us feel we don’t need religion in our lives, or
that salvation is a joke? Only through humility can these things be found.
If those teenagers had been more humble they would not have
knocked me down or cursed me for being different. They would not have had to
speed away with their music blasting. They might have gotten to know me and
found a new friend... they might have enjoyed playing with Hondo. They might
have heard the construction vehicle that plow into their golf cart and kill two
of them while maiming the other three.
So as you can see it is important to know in what direction you
are headed, for it will better help you see the dangers that lie around you. Do
you know where you’re going to?
Hondo do.
Let us pray...
