The Traffic of Life

So, you get off work, get into the car, excited to get home, and then you get stuck in traffic.😓 Just another day in Lagos.

But no matter how frustrating traffic is, you never find yourself doubting the destination. You never find yourself saying, “Am I really sure I’m going home? This traffic is too much. What if I’m not going to find any house when I get there? What’s the point?! Oh, let me just park here and not bother trying anymore.” 😅
We understand that the promise of home isn’t where the problem is, but that there are challenges on the way:
Perhaps a car broke down.
Perhaps the roads are bad.
Perhaps it’s just normal rush-hour traffic.
And if we’re on the wrong route, we know that all we have to do is check our maps and take a different route.
⠀
It’s exactly the same with God.
The problem isn’t whether or not God has promised; it’s what perspective we’re looking at the process from.
There’s no point complaining through the seasons of our lives, kicking and screaming through every challenge and questioning God’s faithfulness. The simple answer is to get a different perspective — God’s Perspective — and understand what’s happening. And if you find that you’re stuck because you took the wrong road, just turn around at the nearest opening.
