Every now and then a sign by the side of the road will make me smile. Sure, there are those "cute" signs people have with quick expressions which should have lots of meaning. I think I heard it referred to as "roadside evangelism" once.
But a sign on a local Boulevard today just struck me as strangely odd and a true sign of the times. I drive by a psychic's place (can't call it a store or an office, don't know what they call their places of business) and they had a sign in the front of their building. It read "Special, $5.00 readings".
I had several thoughts run through my head-almost simultaneously. The first, and the one that always occurs "I wonder if the person inside knew I would be riding by". The second was, "Wow, they can't even get people to come in and see what the future holds! Do they know something we don't? Are they saying our future is only worth five bucks? That's less than a movie ticket!"
Then it occurred to me-
I don't have to pay a dime to know what my future holds.
I know where I am going to end up for the "long haul". I plan to haul it up to heaven and hang out with the big guys as soon as they release me from this earthly assignment! I also don't have to worry about what tomorrow will bring, or next week, or next month, or next year. I have the joy of what Oswald Chambers called,"gracious uncertainty". I might not know what tomorrow brings, but I know I can trust the One who is bringing it!
I saved my five bucks that day. My future is sealed time and I don't have to worry about the detail. God has it all under control.
