Y ou have been trying to reach your destination for more than an hour. The heat coupled with rush hour traffic is beginning to wear you down emotionally. Finally, you are almost there. A sense of calm begins to return.
Life has many unexpected twists and turns.
Some detours are unavoidable and are a natural part of life. There are, however, detours we bring on ourselves. They are unscheduled turns in life that God did not desire for us to experience. Anything becomes a detour when it motivates you to go against God's will for your life. Adam and Eve took a detour when they ate of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.
