On of the most frustrating things that we can experience while driving is a roadblock. This is especially the case if you live in an area of the country where there are few roads and few options when you come across a roadblock. When there are only a few options to get from point A to point B, and we come face to face with a roadblock, we can find ourselves stopped in our tracks. At a roadblock, our progress is stopped and, as a result, we end up angry and frustrated as we sit at a standstill.
We can find ourselves having a similar experience in our spiritual life. As followers of Jesus, we can find ourselves face to face with a roadblock that blocks us from experiencing intimacy with Christ and from growing and maturing spiritually. And as a result, we end up feeling angry and frustrated as the process of spiritual growth and maturity grinds to a halt.
As I am thinking about this whole idea of roadblocks, I am interested in some feedback from you. What are some roadblocks that you have run into? What are some of the roadblocks that you have run into that cause people to reject the claims of Christ and the message of the gospel? What are some of the roadblocks that cause us to stop growing and maturing in our relationship with Jesus?
I would love to hear from you so that we could examine these roadblocks and look at possible ways to overcome what can hinder our progress as we travel the road of life as followers of Jesus.
