I was driving today at lunch headed to this Thai place i found to get something to eat. And at least three different times while driving I witnessed individuals who had stopped their cars and gotten out to pick up something that had either flown out of their car or fell off. Whichever way it was, they were now taking their time to collect the things they had lost. They were not worried about those who were driving by and or who were waiting for them to hurry up and move. They had lost something important apparently, and felt the need to go and retrieve what was lost. After I had eaten, and on the way back to the office, I noticed the last car and the Holy Spirit quickened my understanding that often at the pace that we travel in while living, we may lose important principles, and practices through an open window or unsecured door. If we are not watchful and praying, we can become indifferent to the ways of God, and the principles of right living because of our honest quest to achieve, receive, and cleave to more and more of this worlds symbols of success. The Lord reminded me that His principles provide for success that carries over into eternity. Things like, honesty, truth, integrity, sharing, giving, Faithfulness, patience, and endurance. We get it back by daily immersion in the scriptures, prayer, and fellowship with bible believing, Christ loving brothers and Sisters. The pace may be somewhat fast, but it's ok to take a "brake" and get what may have gotten away.
LIVE!
