Isaiah 35:8 A highway
shall be there, and a road, and it shall be called the Highway of
Holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for others.
Whoever walks the road, although a fool, shall not go astray.
Luke 9:57 As they
were going along the road, someone said to Him, "I will follow You
wherever You go."
Luke 8:5 "The
sower went out to sow his seed ; and as he sowed, some fell beside the road,
and it was trampled under foot and the birds of the air ate it up.
On the road, down the road, at the
forks in the road, rocky road, road to nowhere, winding road, crooked road,
rough road, road to recovery, roadblock and on and on the road goes. Have you
ever noticed how many ways you use the word road. Have you ever looked into
God’s Word, the Bible, and seen how many times a reference is made to a road:
like the road to Jericho, the road to Calvary, the road to Emmaus, the road
that leads to Samaria.
Paul was saved and met the
resurrected Jesus on the road to Damascus. Philip preached Jesus in the town of
Samaria and throngs came to faith in Jesus. As he left town he met a man on the
road who inquired about being baptized; because he saw water by the road.
Phillip said he could if he believed in Jesus.
The path or road that Jesus walked as
he approached the hill called Golgatha or Mount Calvary where he was crucified
is called the Road of Suffering. It was on this road that led to His
crucifixion that he suffered much. In Spanish it is called “The Via Dolorosa.
What road are you on? Are you
following Jesus down the road to holiness? Are you walking on the narrow road
or headed down the road to destruction. It would be a good time to choose to
walk on the Highway of Holiness, the road to victory in Jesus.
Joshua 24:15 “…choose this day whom you will serve…But as for me and my house,
we will serve the LORD.”
Greetings from "on the road" in Independence, MO. (Found a Starbucks in Wichita but not time to write.)
Sandy and I arrived in MO several hours ahead of what we had planned. Glad we did. IT IS HOT IN MO. HUMID AND YUKKY. We are meeting with Brett and Mary Yohn from our church in Nebraska today (WED). Looking forward to seeing them. We meet the rest of the week with Sandy's relatives and some more close friends.
We travel down to my home town on Saturday evening and I will be preaching at the First Baptist Church in Eldon on Sunday morning. Eager to fellowship with former pastors, high school friends and lots of relatives. I do wish it would cool off!!! I mean the weather.
Thanks for your prayers for our safety. The trip has been good with no real problems. For those of you who have never pulled a travel trailer this will mean nothing, but we achieved an even 12 miles per gallon in our first 1300 miles. That is a good trip for anyone pulling a trailer.
We will be in Springfield next week to see Sandy's brother and his wife and children. I will also be preaching at Second Baptist Church of Lebanon on July 7th.
Our plans are to return home sometime the middle ofJuly. In the meantime we will just have to sweat. That is the MO word for perspiration.
Love you all. God bless. ~ DGW
