Lessons From a Traffic Sign – Part 5

Traffic signs are designed to regulate, warn, and guide drivers. However, these signs can also teach us some important spiritual lessons. This is part 5 of my 5-part series on “Lessons from a Traffic Sign.” You can find links to the other parts of the series at the end of this post.

Today, I want to discuss the “No Parking” sign, which identifies areas where you cannot legally park your car. Your car is parked when it is stopped and no longer moving. From a spiritual perspective, when you are parked, you have stopped growing in the Lord; you are at a standstill spiritually; you are no longer making progress toward becoming a stronger believer. The “No Parking” sign reminds us that as Christians, we should never stop growing spiritually.

The Bible tells us that we should continue to grow and progress in our walk with the Lord. Second Peter 1:5-8 state, “For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Here are a few activities that will help you grow spiritually:

There is no parking as a Christian! Continue to make progress as you grow to be the spiritually mature believer God wants you to be. What will you commit to do to make sure you are not parked in your spiritual growth? Tell me about it in the comments.
