Can you pass this road test?
Staying on the course that Truth and Love—God—has set for each of us can only bless.
Those who wish to obtain a driver’s license in the United States, and likely many other countries, must pass three tests: a written test, a road test, and a vision test. While driving in heavy traffic recently, I wondered how in the world some drivers were able to get a license! There were several instances of reckless and dangerous driving.
Later, it occurred to me that I needed to examine my own thoughts and behavior. Though I consider myself to be a good driver, I wondered how well I would do on a different kind of road test: what I would call a “spiritual road test”—one that examines the way we navigate life and interact with others, on and off the road. The questions on the test might include:
Do you stay in your own lane? Am I minding my own business and paying attention to what I’m thinking and doing? Or am I preoccupied with the thoughts and actions of others? This would be equivalent to veering into another’s lane and trespassing in their space.
