Yellow Lights

The other day I was going home and was coming upon an intersection that had its light just turn yellow. I was thinking that I would easily whip around the corner before it turned red. The only problem was that there was another car in front of me who came to a stop.

Thoughts filled my mind as to why this driver was stopping...what was wrong? Clearly she could have made the turn easily...and then I could have too. UGH!! Why?!

Here's the answer: The driver was adhering to the warning signs to avoid danger or death in the drivers life.

Quickly God pointed out the parallel with this in my life. How do I handle Spiritual warning signs? Am I thankful for them? Or do I just make my own set of rules and hope for the best....not knowing what's waiting around the corner? Am I going to watch the warning signs and apply them, or am I going to blame others that I couldn't make the "turn"? Who will I blame if I were in an "accident" injuring many lives...not just my own?

I praise God for the warning signs in front of me!!
