Wrong Turn
I strolled from the office to the train station at a casual pace enjoying the weather, pondering what early evening snack could satisfy my tummy without ruining my appetite for dinner. I stopped at the street light and settled on a $1 fruit smoothie.
As I waited for the walk signal, a blue car turned South onto a North bound one way street right in front of me. At first I thought he was trying to access the parking garage at the corner, cars were in all but one of the lanes traveling in the opposite direction of his turn, but he sped down the avenue against traffic as if he was traveling in the right direction. Midway down the street I saw him tap his break but then accelerate again.
Four neat rows of cars blocked his entry to the East bound one way. His options were to make a u-turn or continue in the wrong direction against traffic. As I crossed the street in laughter, I looked behind me wondering if maybe the one ways weren't clearly marked. There were several DO NOT ENTER signs posted.
I wish I could have stayed to see how he handled that traffic debacle but I had a smoothie to sip and a train to catch.
How many times do we find ourselves in a world of trouble only to say 'something told me'... Those are our signs. We are blessed with discernment over situations so that we can determine what is safe for us physically, emotionally and spiritually.
When we get a sense that something isn't right but ignore it, we are usually asking for trouble somewhere down the line. How do we know it's not just our fears creeping into our conscience though? It is not always easy to understand the difference between our insecurities and our internal warning systems. If we take time to align our spirits with God's will though, our intuition takes on a new light and fears become less prevalent.
Some call our guides guardian angels, others call it intuition. Whichever way we classify it though, be encouraged to heed the internal voice that beckons to be heard.
