What’s the problem…NOW!!!

It happens all the time….whether I am running errands or traveling for work ~ Traffic Jams.

I’d like to say…they don’t frustrate me, but I can’t.
Especially if I did not leave enough time to make an appointment….being late causes more aggravation.
Resulting in my self talk tending to be a little negative, if I am honest.

Recently, Sitting in a 4 lane traffic jam ~ my first thought was, “Oh, this looks bad….hope the accident isn’t to awful”, as I said a quick prayer.

Quick prayer for me and those who might be in the accident. Then it hit me…sitting in lanes that were blocked ~ sometimes my spiritual life has blockage.

When I choose not to start my day spending time with God ~ my day often has more frustrations & aggravations. These can turn into blockages that carry on through out my week. Blockages that manifest in my life in different ways.

Spiritual blockers:

⦁ Anger
⦁ Pride
⦁ Bitterness
⦁ You name it________________

Resulting in:

⦁ Lack of patience
⦁ Fear
⦁ Doubt
⦁ Unbelief
⦁ Fruits of the Spirit missing
⦁ Depression
⦁ Anxiety
⦁ _________________________

Oh my ~ I think both lists are never ending!!

So what do we do ~ how do we get out of the Spiritual Blockage Jam??

⦁ Recognize it
⦁ Guard against it
⦁ Daily quiet time
⦁ Pray
⦁ Pray
⦁ Pray
⦁ Accountability
⦁ Start

While I am traveling, I listen to the news for traffic updates….listening to the voice of the Spirit will guide me around trouble areas.

So….traffic jams they are inevitable!!

Spiritual jams
Spiritual blockage is avoidable.

I get behind the wheel of my car every day.

Every day, I have that same option ~ I choose which way I am going to travel on this narrow way toward Kingdom living.

For today….I choose His route.

Be blessed…..

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the 
heavenly places in Christ…”—Ephesians 1.3
