You’re driving through town and you approach an intersection directed by a stop light. The light was green, but as you draw near, it changes to yellow. Yellow means you are supposed to slow down and prepare to stop. We all know this, but many of us (read me) can’t resist the temptation to speed up and try to make it through the intersection before the light turns red.
We know this is wrong, but we do it anyway. We do it because we get away with it time and again. There seem to be no repercussions for doing what we know is wrong. And that concept is easy to get used to. This can be a self-destructive mindset when applied to other aspects of our lives. Right and wrong do make a difference.
There will come a time when we are held accountable for our time here. God is the ultimate traffic cop.
