Have you ever made a wrong turn that left you lost and frustrated trying to get back on track? Well, it happened to me recently and the experience brought to fore some valuable lessons I would like to share with you. Initially I was angry with myself, because I was in a hurry to get somewhere and was thinking of the faster option of two possible routes, until the Holy Spirit made me realise God had some practical lessons for me in the situation.
Patience is a virtue we all must possess as a wrong turn would cost you time and other valuable resources. Thank God traffic wasn't bad that day, I lost about 30 to 40 mins.
A wrong turn can leave you farther from your intended destination and lead to other wrong turns. How far down the wrong path would you have to go to find an exit route? That day I had to drive about 10 km down the wrong path before I could make a u-turn.
It is important to pay attention to signposts. Most roads in life have signposts that give directions or show the way. For a believer, God has given us the Holy Spirit to guide us through the challenges of daily living as well as making the weightier decisions pertaining to destiny and purpose. The antennae of our hearts, therefore, have to always be able to pick the signals from Him that would guide us through life.
Lastly, wrong turns in life can be annoying when we take them but usually there's a blessing around the corner. This post is one of the blessings of a wrong turn I made :-)
