Are You in the Right Place?
We traveled to Morocco yesterday to visit some other living Patriarchs of the family. I wanted to glean some stories as well as update any information on the family tree.
I relaxed in the car as Tammy drove us over to Larry “Doc” Schanlaub’s home.
Once we were within a few hundred feet, I still didn’t recognize any of the houses.
We had been there only once before but I was sure either Tammy or I would recognize the place. The Maps App declared that we had arrived at our destination!
We were looking at a house on one side of the street and a church on the other! So, Tammy started driving up and down the street while we looked for the house, hoping to recognize it.
We got tired of wandering up and down the street like fools and I called Doc to verify his address.
When I told him the address that I had plugged into the phone app he laughed and said, “No! That’s my church!”
After plugging in the correct address, we were there in a few minutes.
You see, I called Doc! I called the one that was there and knew the way. He gave me instructions on getting on the right path!
In our spiritual life we must call on God for the answers, amen?
Jeremiah 33:3 NIV Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.'
Once I arrived, I was greeted by heartwarming family members! Jimmy Joe, my oldest cousin present, said he also had gotten lost, and he stopped at the police station and asked them where Doc lived.
I also see a spiritual application with that, amen?
Anyone reading this know someone that would drive up and down street after street refusing to call for help?
Refusing to stop and ask for help?
Maybe you are guilty of that yourself?
Anyway, we sometimes get caught up thinking we can get things figured out and actually act like a fool when the answer is readily available.
Proverbs 12:15 NIV The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice.
Jimmy Joe stopped and seeked guidance and was on the right path immediatley.
Sometimes we think we are on the correct path.
I know in my lifetime I have come to the conclusion many times that I needed to seek advice and/or call on God for guidance to get back on the right path to the right place!
May you continuously seek guidance to stay on the correct path to the right place!
Have a blessed day!
