True story.
Two Christian men were making visits on behalf of their church. They drove into a subdivision, successfully made their visit, and were ready to leave the subdivision, but….
The driver could not find his way out of the subdivision! He tried several times but kept driving in circles and finding himself on streets he had already driven. Finally, in exasperation, he said to his companion, a civil engineer, “I wonder what idiot designed this subdivision!” To which his companion responded, “I did.”
After the driver asked his friend for directions, exiting the subdivision was relatively easy. The man who had designed the circuitous streets of the subdivision knew the way out. I wonder if we are sometimes like that driver. We keep going in circles, seeking our own way and directions, when Jesus is right beside us, and he knows the way. In fact, he IS the way (John 14:6).
When you are uncertain of the way to go, ask the one who is the way, the truth, and the life!
