Traveling
on the Highway to Heaven
Last week my mom and I took a road trip to Boothbay Harbor
Maine for a vacation. The trip from Middleborough to Boothbay is around 4 hours
or so though we took our time stopping here and there along the way. During one
particular straight stretch of highway my mind started to wander. We were
traveling in the center lane of a three-laned highway and I began to ponder the Trinity- each lane
representing one person of the Trinity. I envisioned God, the Father, in the
high-speed lane, powerful and mighty; the Holy Spirit in the slow lane, who
gently guides us along life’s highways and byways; and Jesus steadfast in the
middle lane, never wavering, always steady and nearby. I observed the cars and
people around me… some speeding along, some just puttering along and others
zipping in and out of all three lanes. Isn’t this just like life with the Holy
Trinity? Sometimes we need God the Father for His strength; sometimes we seek
the Holy Spirit for guidance; other times we ask Jesus to walk with us; and
very often we may find ourselves zipping from lane to lane – from Father to Son
to Holy Spirit and back again.
As I traveled my highway towards my
vacation time in Boothbay, I gazed off into the horizon. I noticed where the
heavenly sky meets our earthly road and I noticed that in the distance that
visually all three lanes merged into one. How like the Trinity I mused! Three
persons in one God!
While travelling your highway of
life try to notice the workings of the Trinity around you. Each person of the
Trinity has a specific job to do in your life. Take some time today to get to know
them and see where they are working in your life. God
Bless, Holly Clark
