Today while driving Scott to work, the thought came to me regarding rules and control. There are rules to control how fast we drive. There are rules about which lane of the road to be in to take a certain exit. There are also God’s rules. Do we only follow the rules when there is a presence of authority?
This came to me today as there were two lines of traffic closely following the speed limit. Some would start to pass and maybe even pass those in the “fast” lane only to find there was a reason we were closely following the speed rule. The reason for this was the presence of a police car in one of the lanes. Now, how many of us are guilty of really disobeying speed limit signs. To us, sometimes, they are only suggestions. Not something to really follow.
The same thought hit me with our relationship with God. Do we only obey His rules when His presence is directly in front of us? Are there some rules that we consider as only suggestions?
The crux of the matter is control. Rules ultimately control our lives. Whose rules are we following? Whose control are we under?
Just some thoughts for today.
