Through the misty haze of the early morning fog, two moto riders crawl to a stop at a four-way traffic light. The light had just turned red. The riders patiently await their turn to go through the intersection. Glancing off to their right, they take note that the cross traffic's light has changed from yellow to red, indicating that their own light should be signaling green at any moment. They wait...and wait. But instead of their own light turning green, the cross traffic's light switches from red back to green. Abe and Rowe look at each other and shake their heads. "We've been skipped over!" is the thought racing through their minds. They try to maneuver their bikes back over the traffic loop detector on the ground. The cross traffic's light slowly switches from green, to yellow, then red. "Yay, we've been detected!" the riders assume. They switch their bikes from neutral to first, ready to take off. But instead of their light turning green, it skips over them once again. The cross traffic's light switches from red back to green, while their own light remains red. Abe turns to Rowe and yells above the roar of their engines, "We could either sit here all day, or just go ahead and cross the intersection!"
One of the frustrations of being a moto rider is being stuck at a red light that never changes. This happens at intersections that use loop detectors in the pavement. In motorcycle school, we are taught that in these circumstances, as long as traffic is clear, you should carefully cross the intersection.
The "traffic light" may be red or the "loop detector" doesn't detect you. So you sit and wait. At some point, God says to simply trust Him and go. Such was the case with Abraham when God told him to leave everything and go to a place He would show him. There was no map, no gameplan, only God's prompting. At aHbe Racer, God is leading us to go. Find His lost and lonely riders. Help them join His ride. Helping others along the way. We're happy to announce our website is now live! We're on the go...over the loop detector, past the red light, through the intersection, following Him while the wheels are spinning...
always
Him
before
everything
