GOD’S
PERSPECTIVE

MANY a person checks the traffic reports before they head out onto the roads to go to work. By listening to the traffic report, they can figure out which freeways are clogged up and determine how much time needs to be allotted to getting to their destination or which route is best to take.

Any traffic report worth its salt is given from a helicopter. Somebody up in the sky looks down at the whole situation and can give direction to drivers so they know how they ought to proceed. Now, a person can say, “I am not listening to the traffic report. I am going to take my chances.” The only problem is that when they are in traffic, they can’t see what’s going on. All they will know is that there is a long line and they will be stuck in it.

Now which is better? Does it make more sense to try and make the traffic decision on one’s own and possibly get stuck or does it make better sense to follow the instructions from the helicopter? Of course, following the helicopter makes more sense because the person flying above in the chopper sees the big picture.399
