Warning, No Lines Painted: from the book "The Sole Balm" by Elmon Krupnik 2017

 As I was driving home to Phoenix this past weekend late at night, a flashing road sign alerted me that road construction was ahead and that no lines were painted on the road.  The yellow and white lines on the road are important because they tell us the lanes that we are in on the highway, set the boundaries, and tell us when we can pass.  It was interesting and at times scary to be traveling down a highway late at night with no boundaries and no guidance.  It made me realize how important those lines and boundaries are for protection and for safety for myself and others.  I had taken those lines for granted.

 I thought about the lines and boundaries (laws, regulations, orders, ethics) that are the boundaries, the painted lines that govern our lives.  The purpose of those lines is to protect me and to protect others.  Without those lines in my life, my life would be without order; rather, it would be chaos.  Proverbs 2:6-8 states, “For the Lord gives wisdom and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.  He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.”  We need to ensure that our lines are based on God’s wisdom, because that will create balance in our lives and guide us in the direction that God wants us to go.  Without that guidance and balance, we will get off of the road that we should be on and lose our way.  Let us remember to look to the true source of guidance to make sure that we are walking within the right lines.
