Beautiful views of wheat fields, olive groves and vineyards made it a stunning 21km walk in the sunshine today. This is the 6th day of our walk and the first day without rain ponchos. The headlines in the paper 2 days back declared that is has been the coldest month of May here in 130 years! The blue sky and sunshine lifted everybodies spirits as we chatted and walked with our many and varied friends on the road, journeying together.
How do we know the way? Nobody follows a map, but we follow the signs. You look for the symbol of a shell, or a small yellow arrow that marks the way periodically. You have to look for them, but they are there. No big signs, no neon lights, but small signs guiding along the road and you walk in faith hoping to see another one further down the track. A bit like life really, we often want writing in the sky from God or a vision in the night, but God points the way with small signs along the road and we continue in faith and then see another further along the way. Sometimes in our busyness of life we miss the signs on the road. Some of our fellow pilgrims have missed the signs and taken the wrong path only to have to retrace their steps.
Question - are you taking time to see the signs from God as you journey?
