During the last couple of days, driving on the treacherous roads left in the wake of the storms that blew through this area, the Lord has taught me something.

When trying to change lanes, for a safer transit to my destination, would sometimes be difficult and I would need to concentrate and remember the basics of driving in order to make to the clearer lane. Sometimes the car would slip and slide and maybe react like it would not go through the obstacle(s) between the lanes and keep me in the same lane that I’m trying to get out of. But with determination and concentration and knowing how to handle my car, I made it.

In our Christian transit, sometimes the Lord wants us to shift lanes to get where He wants us to go. But in doing so we encounter obstacles. The most important thing to remember is the Basics. Know what your capabilities are and how to overcome those obstacles. As you move out of your comfort zone, it’s not going to be easy, but anything worth doing right never is.

May God show you the path(s) you need to take and give you the strength and courage to make the first move in that direction.
