Which Track are you on?

Everything is going a long fine, “clickety-click” “clickety-click” as the train goes down the line. Then suddenly you realise you are on the wrong track.

If ever you saw the old movies and you saw the signal man in the box suddenly pull up the flag and switch the tracks over from one to another, you will know what I mean. Sometimes imperceptibly our route has been changed. It is only as we get further down the line, so to speak, that it dawns on us. We start to notice small things that alert us to this.

In spiritual terms this could be –

We find ourselves irritated and annoyed by people and events (the love walk has faded). We may be angry and frustrated – sometimes that can just be with ourselves.

We may feel down and despondent.

These are all small signs that we may have drifted off course. What do we do?

We need to examine ourselves to see if we can pick up on when this started. Then we repent if it was a wrong thought or attitude that we did not deal with. A wrong behaviour that diverted us. Or maybe just simply not spending time with God on a regular basis, or going to church.

As Christians the longer we have been on the track with Jesus, the subtler the diversion may be. We tend to be more sensitive to these subtle changes in our lives. The reason we are off track may seem so trivial, but God is changing us from “glory unto glory” and we must deal with even “the little foxes that ruin the grape vine” as the Bible says.

If today you have drifted off course, take time to speak to God. If you know what the problem is confess it. If not ask God to speak to you and to guide you back on course. God is not in the business of condemnation He welcomes us back no matter how far we have drifted.

I came across a couple of brilliant music videos that remind us that God is not done with any of us yet. No matter how we feel about our own short comings, God loves us and wants us to draw near to Him and to know His love for us cannot be derailed. Nothing can separate us from His love!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVHrkYBEgFM&ab_channel=taurenwellsVEVO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIaT8Jl2zpI&ab_channel=LaurenDaigle
