LEFT TURN AHEAD PARABLE SUBSCRIBE
PARABLE:
With
summer vacationers, both southbound lanes of our unlimited access
highway
are often packed, going 55 mph in both lanes, equalized by the few stop lights.
Thus I often move into the left lane a couple of miles ( < 2 minutes) early
when I see a few yards' space there. And often the drivers behind me
get impatient that I'm in their way (traveling same speed as everyone else).
They'll flash their lights, honk,
get on my bumper if there's space for me to move right,
trying to bully me to give what they want: MOVE!
....... Sometimes ~1/2 mile before my left turn, I'll briefly turn on my left signal -- and they back off. And I imagine them thinking "oh...."
And sometimes I don't.
"God, WHEN are You goin' to do something?
There's room now, give me a break!"
Sometimes God gives me a signal that a change is coming.
And sometimes He doesn't.
....... But when the change does come and I see how glad I was that the turn came here and not "back there", I usually end up humbly... ashamedly praying, "oh...."
What does LORD God say ?? Proverbs 3: 5-7a nkjv

SO WHAT ??
But I do the same to God too often.
It will seem like things are "going too slow", especially in music
ministry. I'll "flash my lights" and honkingly pray, "God, WHEN are You goin' to do something?
There's room now, give me a break!"
Sometimes God gives me a signal that a change is coming.
And sometimes He doesn't.

What does LORD God say ?? Proverbs 3: 5-7a nkjv
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
7a DO NOT BE WISE IN YOUR OWN EYES....
