Its not uncommon for youth to embrace their parents’ hobbies. A one time opportunity for me soon became a weekly obsession. While some of my peers were out partying on Friday night, I spent 3 years bowling, filling in as a sub for a league. Before the days of bumpers, there was nothing to keep loose shots from entering the gutter.
Outside of bowling lanes, Guard rails were designed to keep vehicles from straying into dangerous areas while driving. Unfortunately, not every street contains such a guide. On country, desolate or rural roads, poor counties can not afford, support or justify spending that much money. However, when someone dies in a car accident, their life is priceless.
From a spiritual perspective, the Bible is like bumpers, a guide to keep you from falling of course, Matthew 7:13-14. The life lessons, principles and truth inside of God’s Word serves as a light source, Psalm 119:105, to help you see down the road. Although invisible, conviction, gut feelings or promptings from the Holy Spirit, Galatians 5:25, can lead souls through the darkness in life. May the words of this book provide you with the direction you are searching for today.
