A great illustration! At first it was oh my!! This is disastrous! And then it was relief to realize there was another vehicle, carrying the truck and going in the RIGHT direction.

It creates a number of insights:

1) only God has the perspective to fully appreciate our situations.

2) God often is the vehicles carrying away the certain death vehicles of distraction that we so fear. And even though it looks like we are at their mercy, he takes those vehicles going the wrong way and even while continuing to be in the wrong direction to carry them away from harming His own.

3) don’t get off the road of God’s calling, because if God has called us, he will open the way - even in what seem like impossible circumstances.

Just because it looks like an impending disaster or an impossible situation doesn’t mean it is so. We need to exercise our faith (believing/trusting without seeing) muscle every day by studying the Word, worshipping Him and RESTING in His promises.

Great picture and reminder to seek Him in all things because our perspective is always skewed (sinners lens).
