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.
