NOW, something about this is just WRONG! Have you ever felt that the instruction that you received doesn’t lineup with the direction that you are meant to travel?
The sign is confusing but the instruction is correct! The sign says to go left, but the instruction is to keep right! Isn’t this how it is for those who are worldly minded?
The world has plenty of “signs” pointing us in the wrong direction. These signs act upon the three areas of life that is truly the basis of ALL SIN: as written in 1 John 2:16 “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.” We are drawn by the attractiveness of worldly things, we are seduced by the temporal elegance of the flesh and we are ensnared by our need to be popular in the world.
However, the Word of God instructs and informs us that we are to clothe ourselves with humility toward one another, because, God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. If there’s anything that we are struggling with that we are to cast all of our anxiety on Him because he cares for us. Don’t cast your anxiety on drugs; alcohol or unhealthy relationships… these will definitely lead you in the wrong direction and FAST! We need to be self-controlled and alert, sober and not drunk!
Yes, stay alert! If the “sign” that you are shown doesn’t match the instruction that has been given…DON’T FOLLOW.
The true sign with the correct instruction is Jesus, the Christ, who simply says “Follow Me”. Will you follow Him today?
The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him (Nahum 1:7)

No matter how big the sign is or what the sign says there is no sign in the world that should ever mislead you from the Lord's path.
