You ever find yourself driving and while you're driving, you realize that you are heading in the wrong direction and once that realization occurs, you first yell at yourself, lol, and you find a way to turn around and you turn around and head in the correct direction.  You don't waste any time once you realize its the wrong road and you either turn around or you find a way to get back into the correct direction.
It's crazy because sometimes you may be driving somewhere, but because you are so accustomed to go home and take a certain exit, you subconsciously take that exit and realize that you are going home, rather than the place you were supposed to go, lol, come on, everyone has probably done that.  We then yell at ourselves again, turn around and go to the place we were supposed to go.

As this thought entered, I began wondering, we are so quick to turn around when we know we are headed in the wrong direction and find a way to get to where we know we should be going when we're driving, but why don't we do the same when we're walking?

Well, you might say, when I walk I turn around, but what I mean is, why don't we turn around and head the right direction when we know we are headed down the wrong road in life.  So many of us know how we should be walking in Christ, we realize that we are not headed in the right direction, but we can't seem to derail ourselves, like we do when we are driving, to start heading back in the right direction.  It's almost like the taking the exit home, we have become so accustomed to living our lives according to how we live, that we just continue going on the wrong road without realizing it, but when we do, we hesitate to turn around.

 

Don't you see, in this world, it is easy for us to turn around to please ourselves, but almost impossible to turn around to please the Lord.  We will continue to head in the wrong direction, becoming even more lost and more lost and more lost to the point where we end up lonely in a desert somewhere and don't even realize how we got there.

 

Brothers and sisters, this is why we NEED Jesus Christ, He is the only One who can give us the strength to turn around, He is the only One who can guide us in the right direction, He is the only One who can give us the courage and boldness to stand up and shift ourselves in the right direction, He is the only One who is willing to take the wheel when we are driving so fast on a road that is headed for the cliffs.
