Monday morning, and it's back to work! This week has a 4-day holiday stretch due to Deepavali festival and hence there is a perceptible joy across the floor!!!

I was in an auto-rickshaw returning to the office after a site visit. Signal after signal was green, and i was grateful that we did not have to wait under the blazing sun, with the buses belching out their diesel smoke into our rick! 

Wished that in life too, all signals would be green! Unfortunately, it is not. Often, for reasons not clear to us, the lights go red. But the Bible says, the Lord is in control. It is He who determines our direction and timing of motion.  As with traffic signals, if we jump the red light, we might get hit, or even hit someone else!! (The car in the below photograph jumped the light - and created quite a scare for those autos!)

Wait. Time spent waiting is well-spent time. The Bible says: '...They that wait on the Lord will renew their strength... they will run and not be weary, walk and not faint...'
