What do you do when face that sudden fork in the road? There it is, right in front of your nice drive along the sunny side of the road. Suddenly you are forced to make a decision.

Do you attempt to go around it? Perhaps you could drive on the grass or curbside to pass it? Maybe you get out of your vehicle and try to move it.

The fork in your road is large..stuck deeply into the pavement, it cannot be moved.

You are now aware that you are stuck. If you try to go around it, you're likely to get stuck in the mud.

So what are you to do?  Prayer comes to mind. 

Maybe you think a sudden wind will lift up this giant fork and clear your path. What about a solid kick from a giant?  An angel can come down and move it out or your way.

Nothing happens. Continue to pray.

When you're feeling hopeless, perhaps tired, you sense the impossibilities of this situation. Here you are on your way to having a nice enjoyable ride in life and something prevents you from going forward. It happens. There are forks in the road of life. Things that occur out of your control. Sudden changes in your schedule and roadblocks which prevent you from moving forward.

If you took a different turn, found a different route, perhaps you may have missed this fork. None of that matters now because your here, stuck.

What will you do?
