After turning back, we took the alternative route, and the journey to the market took less than 15 minutes, far shorter than the time we had already spent on the initial route.
As I made the turn, it struck me that life is often like this. We choose a familiar path, believing we know the way, only for it to become a tortuous journey. Because we assume we know the way, we resist turning back or trying another route, until frustration forces us to reconsider.
Yet when we finally do turn back, what once seemed difficult suddenly becomes easier, requiring far less effort.
This reminds me of the Scripture:
“The labor of fools wearies them, for they do not even know how to go to the city.” — Ecclesiastes 10:15 (NKJV)
Lesson 1: Seek divine direction, and never assume you can walk it alone.
Lesson 2: A dead end does not have to be the end, it may simply signal that it’s time to turn back.
Have a wonderful day.
Cheers!
