BE SURE!

I had to go t0 Pekin today (about 30 miles away) in order to purchase a much used baking ingredient that is not carried at the grocer in my town. On the way home I was enjoying the scenery, nice green fields, nice brown marshes, and nice red cows. The farm folks, farm trucks, farm implements, and myself were just amblin' down the two lane enjoying the speed limit.
In my rear view mirror I could see a dark sedan coming up in a hurry. The car passed me in a flash, then overtook the Chevy in front of me. Quick as a wink the blue blur maneuvered around a large tractor/road grader ON A CURVE. It is a good thing we all slammed on our brakes and the semi in the opposite lane did some fancy foot work! I was sure it was going to be a head on collisions & I had freezer items so I could NOT have a delay!
Up the road I could see the navy auto winding in and out of traffic in an effort to be the first in line to somewhere!
Everyone settled back into a nice line of defensive driving, but in a hand-full of minutes, low and behold we came up upon the sports car. It was being visited by a very nice black & white car with some very festive lighting on top. I could not tell what the occupants were discussing, but no one was smiling. Except ME! Ha, ha, I was giggling like crazy and felt very smug!
Then it happened!
I had been listening to a CD by the Committed Quartet, and skipping around so I could listen to the songs that featured my son-in-law Heath Bartlett. He started belting out, "Everlasting Blood". Oh, my......................
My mind fell to spiritual issues and Numbers 32:23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
That gal with the crazy driving was found out! She was busted! But I was reminded of the times I do not obey. My black and white BOOK may not have fancy lights, but it contains the Words of the Lord of Lights! Daily I break HIS law. Often I drive along in my life thinking HE is not watching or caring. Now, God does not sit around in a speed trap waiting to bust me, but I need to remember my wrong actions have consequences somewhere down the road. Just like that dark car, my little mind gets going too fast, trying to get ahead of God, not caring about others, and just doing what it wants. AND just like that dark car, it will catch up with me, God says so. It won't be worth it, it never is....................
So, I prayed a little prayer that the mercy and patience shown by God toward me would be the same mercy and patience the State police might show toward the vagrant driver. But I was still crackin' up the whole way home.............
