Romans 6:16– Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?
In the last couple of years, several roundabouts were constructed on the entrances to freeways near our home. These were a new occurrence in our state and a number of accidents happened because drivers were unfamiliar with the traffic laws governing them.
(Roundabouts are circular intersections or junctions in which road traffic flows almost continuously in one direction around a central island.)
Drivers outside the roundabouts are expected to YIELD to vehicles already driving within them. In other words, drivers already on the roundabouts have the right of way.
In the same fashion, Christians are instructed to lead lives which are yielded to God.
In other words, we are to let God lead us. Let Him have the right of way.
We become followers. 
And we can be assured that He will never lead us in the path of a sinful life, but rather in paths of righteousness.
When we say, “Not my will, but thine, Lord,” we are giving control of our lives over to Him.
When we obey His Word, we are putting our faith and trust in Him…and we humble ourselves to His authority.
We no longer need to wonder if we are going in the right direction on the roundabouts of life.
With Him as our “central island” we can be confident that our path is the one intended for us and that He will lead us safely home.
