Romans 16:17 (ESV) "I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them."There was no way to avoid it! Heading out on the open road, I immediately ran into an obstacle, it was of course highway construction. Today's verse speaks to us about division and obstacles and to stay clear of them! I wish I had listened to my GPS system tell me to avoid the area, but sadly I didn't listen and got caught in a huge traffic jam for hours! As I sat there, I was reminded of the times my parents had given me warnings about who I was hanging out with and how if I kept up with them eventually it would lead to trouble. Staying clear of those who are looking for trouble, causing division and creating obstacles for our walk with Christ would be easier if we pay attention to where and who the Holy Spirit is leading us, the key of course is whether or not we are listening to Him... let's pay attention out there, it could just save us a lot of time and trouble! peace, tom
