Its the COPS!!!

Have you ever been driving and seen a cop, look down at your speedometer and hit the brake a little maybe to make sure that you are not going to get in trouble or pulled over? Its funny, but I think we can treat God that same way. We think that sometimes God is waiting up in heaven to catch us when we mess up or waiting for us to make a wrong choice while “driving the highways of life”. If we feel like God is watching “extra close” we put the brakes on in life to make sure that we are not breaking the “goodness expectation” of God. Really, we should not be speeding or driving recklessly and our vehicle should be in good working order and that is that same with our Spiritual lives as well. We should not have to be thinking about “hitting the brakes of life” because we are already doing what we should be doing anyways. If you are “speeding through life” and not paying attention to the signs and signals around you and you feel like God has “pulled you over” just take the ticket, listen to what He tells you and be more careful next time. It really is for your own safety that He is keeping a careful watch on your life and is concerned about you speeding out of control.
