Fred sat in his car,
glaring angrily at the red traffic light . . .
One minute, two minutes, three minutes!
You would think for those little side roads
they would have only a one-minute green light.
There, only two cars went through all the time
that he and the other motorists on the main road
were waiting!
How frustrating!
Those lights always seem to turn red
just as you drive up on them.
 
Behind Fred, in another car, sits Tom.
But he does not mind the light a bit.
It just gives him a chance to learn another
Bible verse.
He has a new one in a little stand on the
dashboard, and he is saying it over and over.
By the time the light changes,
he will have another verse to use in witnessing!
 
It is estimated that the average motorist
spends 26 hours a year waiting for traffic
signals to change.
And if Fred and Tom are average motorists,
then Fred will spend 26 hours a year
running his blood pressure up
in angry frustration,
and Tom will spend 26 hours a year
memorizing God's Word so he will be
a better servant of Jesus Christ.
