Spin Our Wheels
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).
