Summer Road Trip ’08
Day Sixteen: Psalm 16:3
Heroes

“The godly people in the land are my heroes!”

Life’s journey is meant to be enjoyed. That enjoyment includes the travelers around us. It’s appropriate to appreciate others. It’s even acceptable to have heroes. It’s probably a good idea to have a few heroes.

Danger comes when we pick the wrong heroes.

“Those who chase after other gods will be filled with sorrow. I will not take part in their sacrifices or even speak the names of their gods.” (vs.4)

We spend too much time focused on the wrong kinds of heroes and waste even more time wishing and wondering what it would be like to enjoy the things they live for. The wrong kinds of heroes spend their lives (sacrifice themselves) for little “g” gods that bring only hurt and destruction. The public image that we see is nothing more than a façade, a pretend image.

It’s the godly that are real and genuine. They are the ones who bring real pleasure.

Enjoy the Journey
