The White Line

The other morning as I was driving to the church, it was still dark and it was raining. As long as there was not oncoming traffic, I could see the center strip of the road just fine. Yes, I was in my lane. However, when the headlights from oncoming traffic were in my eyes, I had to look to the white stripe on the right shoulder of the road to keep in my lane and avoid an accident.

I thought of how the Holy Spirit guides us if we will but look for His guidance. Just as the white stripe is there on the side of the road, the Holy Spirit is there beside us to guide us not only through harsh conditions, but through all conditions as we walk through this life.

John 16:13 (NIV)

13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
