Slow Down

School has started, the days are quieter for some families, but for some people this time of year is very dangerous. The streets are crowded every morning with teenagers in a hurry to get to school. We have to be on the lookout for teenagers late for school, they expect us to know that they are late and we had better stay out of their way. I know teenagers aren’t the only ones out there making it a very dangerous place to be. Adults, rushing to work every morning, pose a real threat.
People should leave for work a little early to avoid a lot of the traffic problems faced by the people who are always late. Losing one’s temper in route to work only makes for a longer day.
We should always obey the traffic laws. The laws were established to protect us, and to provide us with a common set of rules that we can live with. We tend to think that if we don’t get caught going over the speed limit, we haven’t broken the law. That is a lie. We have broken the law. Speeding is against the law. Driving on the wrong side of the road is against the law. Your probably thinking, “who, in their right mind, would drive on the wrong side of the road?” The answer to that question is- someone breaking the law. A law is a law. We as citizens are to abide by the rules that we as a government make for ourselves. God tells us in His word that this is His will.
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For it is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: 1 Peter 2:13-15
