If we spin our wheels, we move but get nowhere.

We may travel a muddy road and get stuck. We spin our wheels. The wheels go around, but the car stays stuck.

We walk on a treadmill. Although good for our health, all that walking takes us nowhere.

We try to work but have no success.

• Ideas refuse to come.
• What we try fails.
• We spend time on useless work.
• Someone or something destroys all we have done.
• We do a bad job.

When we spin our wheels, we waste time.

Although active,

• We do not go forward.
• We do not go back.

Instead, we stay stuck where we are. We feel like we can’t win for losing.

How do we stop our wheels from spinning?

We can:

• Move on to something else.
• Work harder.
• Find a new way to get the job done.
• Slow down. Remember haste makes waste.

Don’t give up.

We all spin our wheels sometimes. Keep moving forward.

“Our only power and success comes from God” (2 Corinthians 3:5 TLB).
