In my car off to work early one day, I stopped at the red light. The sun hadn’t risen just yet so it was still pretty dark. As a woman, I’ve always surveyed my surroundings because you can’t be too careful these days.

My eyes wandered to my rearview mirror to find there was no traffic behind me. That seemed unusual, for the road was a connection to two different major thoroughfares. Most times, cars are lined up and headed across the bridge for the turnpike.

Briefly, I looked at my side mirrors, not a soul even at the bus stop. Though it was still early, normally people would be out to start their day. This street was never empty.

The bright lights from the cars headed south brought me back to realization. Oddly it seemed like they all had their high beams situated directly on me.

Slightly I maneuvered myself to peer at my back windshield. Again, there were no other vehicles there. The sound of moving cars in the opposite direction caused me to turn back around for the now-green light.

As I went on my way, I remembered watching an online sermon that I’ll never forget. Bishop Marvin Sapp who is also a gospel singer preached a very powerful message one day. It focused on moving forward and leaving old things behind.

Personally, the empty streets behind me resembled zilch to go back to because they were cold and dark. While the bright roads ahead light a path to my spectacular future.

The next time you feel like your life is at a standstill or you want to turn around because what’s ahead of you seems out of reach. Think of that dark road with no one on and then think of the bright one ahead of you.

Tell me what do you see in your bright future?

Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.”
