And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28

 A few years ago Georgia Department of Transportation implemented adjustable speed limit signs on the north end of the I-285 bypass in Atlanta Georgia. Digital signs line the interstate and speed limits change based on road and weather conditions. The more traffic on the roadways or foul weather, the slower the speed limit, all in an effort to minimize vehicle accidents. Although it has been met with resistance from drivers and there’ve been occasional glitches in the system, it helps people drive safely.  

 As you speed along through life, with God your navigator, you oftentimes encounter periods of quietness from the Lord, making you question if He is “off line”. I can assure you, He is never far from your life. That quietness is a good indicator that you need to slow down and wait to hear His voice of direction and reason. Most likely you’ve sped too far ahead as you’re plowing through life at lightning speeds, and God sees a roadblock ahead that needs your attention. Kick, scream, and throw your tantrum for the slowdown, but God has your best interest at heart and knows you need time to absorb the wisdom He longs to provide.

 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2

 You might think it necessary to keep up with your friends on the highway of life, but their GPS has no view of the road ahead. Only God can provide the sound wisdom you need to navigate through life! Adherence to His direction is paramount if you are to avoid spiritual accidents, some that can cause you a lifetime of pain and regret. Absorb God’s word daily and keep an open ear to His directions as you navigate each mile of life.
