Are you inclined to pretend that you didn’t see the warning light on your car dashboard, as if pretending you didn’t see it means that nothing bad will happen to your journey?
John Ortberg emphathises.
A light keeps flashing on the dashboard of my car that I do not understand. It looks like a caribou, or else a pastry of some kind; and i’m not sure if it means that i’m supposed to get a tune-up or something to eat.
But it has me thinking about the whole concept of idiot lights–warning signs that are critical, obvious, and so unavoidable that even a person of limited automotive intelligence can grasp them. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if marriages came with them, or children, or bodies?
Or–most importantly–our souls.
Ortberg then shares what he has observed as his own personal ‘warning lights’, the presence of which indicate that work is needed in his spiritual life, in the hope that they’ll benefit our own contemplations.
