If only for a traffic circle

How many times don't you get stuck at a bad intersection that just blocks up traffic for miles and you know it would all be sorted if there was only a traffic circle in place to regulate traffic. Not a robot, no I think we have way too many of those, just a simple circle. After all, who could steal a sim card from a traffic circle..... Neh, ja I'm telling you it's true!!!

Traffic circles simply allow us to take turns. Don't we need that in our relationships too as well? We get so worked up and bent out of shape because we want our own way that we sometimes just don't allow others to communicate their needs to us. That tends to happen at work just as much as in romantic relationships.

Does it happen with our relationship with God? Yeh I suppose so. The Holy Spirit may be trying to guide us and give us direction but because we are on our own mission we don't listen and don't hear him and we miss our turn off or a change of direction that He desires for us to take.

Next time you find your life paused for a moment, stop and ask God to give you direction. Ask Him to show you whether you should go straight or turn and take a different direction. I know if you do you will find that the traffic in your life starts to flow just a little bit easier.
