Are you caught up in the traffic of the world??

Good morning everyone!!! Yes, a wonderful day to be alive in Jesus Christ!! A wonderful God who is in control of everything. A cool day, fall type weather, and so comfortable to be working in. Have you thought about the path you travel? The direction you are headed??

Yesterday, when going to my hotel in rush hour traffic it was very interesting how people respond. Suddenly a police car went by on the emergency lane. Yep, the obvious, an accident happened up ahead, about 6 miles ahead; on the freeway; in the left two lanes; and the cars had to be towed.

Okay, this 6 miles took me 40 minutes to travel. So, yes, we averaged about 8 miles an hour. As I looked around I thought about the traffic moving to get to the open area so they could continue on at the speed limit. I related this to our spiritual life. There were Ford's, Chevy's, BMW's, Mercedes, Toyota's, Honda's, Jaguar's, and on and on. Just like people in God's world....rich, poor, middle, happy,sad, mad, content, discontent, etc.

Some people just stayed in one lane, content in knowing what is going on and steadily working toward their goal. Some darted from lane to lane trying to get ahead and beat everyone else, and the only thing important was them. How often do we get caught up in this in our daily spiritual life?? Are you darting from lane to lane, never content at where you are, striving to beat everyone else, that YOU are the only one of real importance?

Psalm 37:23-24 "The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the LORD holds them by the hand."

God delights in the ones who follows God, trusts him, and tries to do his will. God watches over and makes firm every step that person takes. If you would like to have God direct your way, then seek his advice before you step out.

Don't be caught up in the traffic of the world today! Follow Jesus, tell someone about Jesus today. God is good all the time, all the time God is good! Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day. Love you all!!

In Christ's Love and Grace
