Back to the traffic signals
Even the reckless will eventually stop at a red traffic signal. Even they know the risk to their car, not to mention life and limb may result from plowing through an intersection when it is not your turn. Many times they may get away with it, but eventually, a terrible wreck will change the landscape of their lives. So, they stop. Few motorcycles will race up between two lanes of cars. They may be able to imagine getting to their destination more quickly, but they also might not make it to their destination.
Paul, wanting people everywhere to arrive safely home, counsels people to live the green-way: God’s way. Follow his lights. Go when he says go. Stop when he says stop. Following this celestial game of Mother-May-I will settle life in the best ways. It may take a while to settle, but settle it will.
