Teens Talk - Yield Signs On The Streets

The Grand Rapids Times
5/9/2008

The pot holes which are on a number of different streets throughout the city have come to be known as the cause of destruction of so many automobiles. I try to go around them and swerve away but honestly that doesn’t work when there is one right after another.

Like so many other individuals who are forced to experience bumpy rides due to pot holes, I become furious. The holes in the city streets bring out the anger in me because they are everywhere.

Without putting a positive light on pot holes it is fair to say that they have a reason for being placed where they are. It is also fair to say that after experiencing rough rides many people will slow down as they are traveling over pot holes.

To be honest the pot holes on the streets remind me of the yield signs that God places in our lives. The yield signs that are suppose to send us a message which informs us to slow our butts down.

If you are a frequent gambler and you begin to go in debt, as a result your house is reposed. That is a sign of God telling you to take control of your addiction and slow your butt down.

If you are a person who loves to cause drama and for once the drama is placed back on you. God is telling you it is about that time for you to slow your butt down.
He is not promising smooth rides in result of people slowing down.

God is telling people that they will have better control over their lives once they slow down. Pot holes are just like the yield signs that God places in our lives to warn us that if we choose not to slow down chaos will be the result of our actions.

The next time you are driving down a street covered with pot holes just treat them as yield signs and slow down. Save yourself from adding drama in your life and damage to your car.

Remember life becomes so much better when everyone slows their butts down and gets back on the right path with God.

I’m going to leave you all with this; Matthew 5:8, “blessed is the pure at heart, for they will see God.”

No matter what form God comes in to address you, you will see him. He can be anything, even a pot hole that telling you to slow your but down.
