Right turn disaster

by Bruce Wadd

 

Sitting on the deck of my brother’s new house provided a unique awareness of human nature.  Let me explain…

 

My brother’s home is on a street corner where many cars turn right.  Recently a new estate was established, extending this road and making the right hand turn into a T-intersection.

 

For the long-term locals it’s been quite a change!  For years they’ve been used to turning right without looking, but with the added road they need to be aware of possible entering traffic with the right of way.

 

As I sat and watched I realized that most drivers turning right were not looking - old habits don’t change easily!  There is an accident in the waiting!

 

Are you frustrated by habits that won’t let go?  Do you feel trapped by doing the same thing over and over again?  My life has been dogged by habits difficult to extinguish.

 

This is merely a reminder… for me as well as you!  Change happens by the renewing of your mind, letting Jesus do His thing with your head!  Are you willing to let Him get inside?

 

“… be a new and different person

with a fresh newness in all you do and think.

 Then you will learn from your own experience

how His ways will really satisfy you.”

Romans 12:2

 

TODAY, avoid the pending disaster… let Him in!
