Psalm 119:1-8 (2)
In this little town the speed limit was 25 mph EVERYWHERE! I was SO frustrated. Things had not gone well that morning. It was cold. My son didn\’t want to get out of bed. We soon found that it had sleeted during the night. Ice covered my windshield. Then the car wouldn\’t start. A jump start to the battery took more time. Ahead were slick roads, heavy traffic and 15 miles to the school
Traffic was moving at about 22 3/8 mph! If I hurried my son would not be tardy. Finally there was no one in front of me. We were 2 mile from school I had 2 minutes. I stepped on the accelerator.
Then I saw him. He was headed toward me. I glanced at my speedometer. I was driving at 35 mph. We met and passed. In my rearview mirror I watched him make a u-turn. His lights came on. As I pulled into the school parking lot, ON TIME, the city patrolman pulled in behind me.
I accomplished what I wanted to do. It seemed right at the time. Others would not have faulted me. Yet, I had to pay a fine. So it is with God=\’s Word. It is our guide to a productive, happy life with Jesus. When we violate its precepts we must pay the consequences.
