Roundabouts

It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.

Psalm 118:8

The latest innovation in traffic control here in Ohio is the roundabout or traffic circle.  Until a few years ago, these were unknown in Ohio; then the Highway Department started building them and roundabouts became the darling of road construction. 

Roundabouts are easy to navigate, but many drivers are confounded by them.  They do not understand that all traffic flows to the right and that they must turn right to get onto the circle and turn right to get off the circle.  All the signs point to the right, but drivers still go the wrong way. 

Sometimes that’s what happens to us when we find ourselves in a new situation.  All the signs point us in the right direction, but we can’t decide what to do because we are over advised by friends and foes.  That’s when it is a good time to take a break and pray for guidance. 

When we look to God, He will point us in the right direction.
