Road Rules: Straight Paths
A few years ago, I did my morning run at a state park in Tennessee. During the run, I ventured off the main path and took some trails into the woods. The trails were winding, muddy, and laced with tree roots. I had to focus on the path to keep from tripping or twisting my ankle. That’s what happens when we leave the main path—we travel on precarious and dangerous pathways. Scripture provides a better route.

Road Rules: God’s Success
Success in the eyes of God is not measured by your possessions but by your person. God is not impressed by what you own but who you are. Our passage today explains how to “find favor and good success in the sight of God and man.” That, at the end of the day, is true gain.

Road Rules: Finding Success
Who doesn’t want to be successful? I certainly do. Successful in my calling. Successful in marriage. Successful in parenting. The word “successful” means that things turn out the way you want them to turn out. Your dreams come true. Your hopes are realized. The challenge with success is not the desire to be successful. The challenge centers around the paths we take to reach the desired destination.

Road Rules: Refusing Honest Work
His name was John Dillinger, and he was known as Public Enemy #1. During the early 1930s, Dillinger traveled throughout the Midwest, robbing over two dozen banks and four police stations, and was responsible for the murder of several police officers. He was nicknamed “The Jackrabbit” for his graceful movements during heists, such as leaping over counters, and his many narrow getaways from police. Dillinger’s “winsome” personality caused many people to idolize the robber as the present-day Jesse James. Dillinger lived with a craving for more, but his hands and heart refused honest work.

Road Rules: Excuses. Excuses. Excuses.
Excuses. Excuses. Excuses. A lazy person is full of excuses. “I am overqualified.” “I am underqualified.” “That’s too challenging.” “That’s not challenging enough.” “I am waiting for the perfect job that perfectly fits my gifts and training.” It’s too hard, it’s too soft, it’s too hot, it’s too cold. Excuses. Excuses. Check out today’s proverb.
Road Rules: Vinegar and Smoke
We all depend on other people. Being part of a team is not only fun and rewarding; it is necessary. A team can do together what no one person can do alone. The flip side is that when one person on the team drops the ball, misses an assignment, or fails to carry his/her weight…the entire team suffers.
Road Rules: Follow the Ant
You have seen them work. They are focused and active. Carrying up to twenty-five times their body weight, these busy little insects with chambered bodies make it their mission to secure food for the winter. Even though they face no threat of job loss, have no boss looking over their shoulder, and have no quota, they must meet. Ants innately get the job done and work especially hard during picnics and camping trips. Lazy ants don’t survive. Neither do lazy people.

Road Rules: The Poverty of Laziness
He was a great high school athlete. A fullback in a wishbone offense, he could run over, around, and away from those who tried to bring him down. With his natural strength and abilities, he was set to make a name for himself—except for one thing—he was lazy. Glimpses of greatness appeared when he felt like it, but most of the time, his effort was lackluster.

Road Rules: Stubbornness
It was the largest natural disaster in US history, causing well over $100 billion in damage. The storm flooded the entire city as well as neighboring parishes. Yet many ignored the repeated warnings that Hurricane Katrina was headed for New Orleans, and, in the end, 1,800 people lost their lives. Hundreds of other lives were saved only because rescue workers risked theirs.
