Stop Sign

Brent and I were out today and had to stop for gas. This man was having a very serious conversation with this stop sign. I asked Brent if he thought he might have an earpiece on? When we left, we drove past him and it was very evident he did not have a cell phone or earpiece, he was actually having a complete conversation with this stop sign. It was quite sad because he had such a lost look in his eyes. He did not even notice us when we drove past.

It reminded me of me! How many times do I do apparently useless things that will bring about nothing of value? I know God must just scratch his head at times watching me as I go about my day with my useless habits. It his hard to have a meaningful relationship with a stop sign!

From Job 15

"Would a wise man answer with empty notions

or fill his belly with the hot east wind?
Would he argue with useless words,

with speeches that have no value?

Do you listen in on God's council?

Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
What do you know that we do not know?

What insights do you have that we do not have?"
