Bless The Broken Road

Beautiful Garbage

Pastor Adrian Rogers

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth…but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven.” - Matthew 6:19-20

Years ago I read about a man who had a rather ingenious way of getting rid of his garbage. He would gift-wrap it, put it out on the curb in front of his house, and invariably someone driving by would see that wrapped box, stop, and pick it up. And the man would be behind the curtains, watching those people drive away with their gift-wrapped garbage!

So many times that's what the devil does. He just takes the things of this world and wraps them up so beautifully. But what we get is not treasure…it turns out to be trash.

Don’t let the devil cheat you—don’t cling to the worthless things of this world, but use your resources and energies wisely to invest in souls and store up eternal treasuresin Heaven!

Add up everything you have that money can’t buy and death can’t take away. The sum will reveal to you how rich you really are.

Bless The Broken Road

Selah

I set out on a narrow way

Many years ago

Hopin' I would find true love

Along the broken road

But I got lost a time or two

I wiped my brow

Kept pushin' through

I couldn't see how every sign

Pointed straight to you

And every long lost dream

Led me to where you are

Others who broke my heart

They were just northern stars

Pointing me on my way

Into your lovin' arms

This much I know is true

That God bless the broken road

And led me straight to you.

I think about the years I spent

Just passin' through

I'd like to take the time I lost

And give it back to you

But you just smile and take my hand

You've been there you understand

It's all part of His grander plan

That is coming true.

And every long lost dream

Led me to where you are

Others who broke my heart

They were just northern stars

Pointing me on my way

Into your lovin' arms

This much I know is true

That God bless the broken road

And led me straight to you.

Now I'm just runnin' home

Into your lovin' arms

This much I know is true

That God bless the broken road

And led me straight to you.

Yes, God bless the broken road

And led me straight to you
