I was driving and noticed the Yield traffic sign, and remembered that I need to yield to the Holy Spirit.
We need to give way to what God wants for us. If we proceed without caution, we could wreck ourselves and others. The wrecks can delay us and cost us in many ways. Relationships, time, financially, emotionally and physically.
There have been many times that I focused on what I wanted. I thought things should happen in a certain way and sometimes ignored signs to the contrary.
Having goals and focusing to accomplish them is great. Locking our minds against everything else and not acting on Holy Spirit led instruction is a recipe for disaster. Each day I now try to listen and then apply what I have received.
