Coming out of Walmart Friday afternoon reminded me of the
signs of the times. The checkout lines
and self-service kiosks are on the left of the exit doors, so the nearest door
on the left was labeled “Exit”. And when
coming in, because customers are exiting Walmart on the right (their left
coming out), the door coming in (on their left) was labeled “Entrance”. But going to the left is
counterintuitive. We drive on the right,
and we just naturally move to the right.
So, when approaching another shopper, we just naturally go to the right
of them. Naturally. So, back to the signs of the times part:
Friday, I noticed that Walmart had taken down the exit and entrance signs above
the doors, outside and inside. The two
doors are simply unlabeled. Customers
can use the door that they prefer … left or right. So, Friday, I walked out of the nearest door
(on the left) and bumped into two people coming in the same door (on their
right). This reminded me of the uncontrolled
days when the judges ruled Israel. Judges
17:6, “In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which
was right in his own eyes.” Hey, without
authority, there is anarchy. Folk do
what they think is good for them, which may or may not be for the good of the
other person. I’m glad that the Lord God
is a rock that we can depend upon. God said
in Malachai 3:6, “For I am the LORD, I change not …”
