When Will I Learn?

Trust in the Lord with all your heart.....

Nothing is more terrifying than seeing those flashing lights turn on as your cruising down the road. Most of us will see these nice red/white/blue light in our rear view mirror at one point in our lives or another, and if you have not yet, consider yourself lucky. Or smart.

The other day I was late for work and flying down the road. Knowing it was wrong I still proceeded to speed down the four lane road to my job. I rounded the corner and to my surprise a cop was sitting there waiting for me. I slammed on my breaks. Then slowly and as innocent as possible, I crept past him.

When I turned around I was so relieved to see him munching on a donut and reading a newspaper. So, after turning the next corner I sped back up and flew at mock speed down the road. "Yes! Free at last, free at last, thank God I'm free at last." I thought as I pulled into the parking lot of my work. I thought for sure that I was a goner and that he would have seen me speeding.

Friends, this may work in real life going to work, but that day I realized something I haven't before. Even though I was able to slip by the cop without him seeing me, we aren't ale to slip by God. So many times we try to slow down when we think God is paying attention and do the right things. Then we speed back up and fly down the road of sin when He may have His back turned. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but God knows all and sees all. You can't out run Him or sneak past Him. This is not meant to scare you just to remind you. He loves us so much and wants to only do everything in His power to bless you. We just need to follow His speed limit. Trust in Him, and always aim to do His will. Then in the end you will make it to your destination in heaven, safe, secure, and on time! May peace be with you.

I received this in a daily devotion put out by Teen Daily Devotion Ministyr. I think that this is something we all have to think about. Thanks, Tony for sharing your thoughts on this.
