Stopping Traffic

At the preschool, they have a "Today Is..." hanging occasionally, and today it read, "Today Is National Traffic Director Day". It's important to have someone direct traffic in the instances that everyone is vying for the same lane from every direction. If it weren't for traffic directors, more accidents would occur at the location of accidents.

Normally, the flow of traffic is uniform and steady. Yet, there are times, especially on certain interstates, when the traffic is a mass of cars, all doing eighty-five miles per hour. There are other times when traffic creeps along and eventually comes to a halt. There are times for traffic to move fluidly, and there are times for traffic to stop.

Today's word is a quote from Vance Havner, which says, "Christians, like snowflakes, are frail, but when they stick together they can stop traffic."

Lately it has been the ones with the loudest voice stopping traffic. Whether they are correct in calling everyone to halt and bringing everything to a standstill is a matter of opinion. However, one thing that is for sure is that if you band together, unite with one purpose, you can make people notice; you can bring things to a halt.

We, as Christians, seem to have a hard time agreeing and uniting on things. If we would only take the time to pray and seek GOD'S will and talk to one another, we might find that we, too, are united. If Christians would band together in one voice, unite with one purpose (to do GOD'S good will), we could stop traffic.

Be Blessed,
