Along our highways, well placed at appropriate locations, are official signs which give us direction and warn us of danger. Most of these are the reflector type; that is, they are designed to reflect the light of auto headlamps. In darkness, they are invisible to anyone who travels without a light. But when our auto headlights are flashed upon these signs, they reflect back to us their message of guidance or caution. Their night-time aid to us depends upon the light we bring to them. They have no meaning for unlighted lamps.

God would like to guide us through the days of this week - and through the years of this life. His signs are out there - in all the appropriate places. But whether we see them will depend upon the light with which we approach them. One reason we are here this morning is to get our lamps lighted, so that we may be aware, so that we may see, so that we may not blindly pass God's road signs along the way.
