Don’t Text While Driving

(Pro 4:13 KJV)  Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.

It is so easy to get sidetracked.  We think we are doing well, we look up and find out the car in front of us has stopped.  There is a time not to text and driving a car is one of them.  There is also a time to text.  Sending a message while the baby is asleep might be an example.  What we are holding fast to is not the texting but the wisdom to know when and where.

I need to be reminded of this today.  I had an encounter which quickly moved me from alert and productive to inert and lethargic.  It had nothing to do with my diet or global warming.  It was purely an emotional response that overwhelmed the wisdom God places in front of me.

So?  Time to take hold.  Time to center my scope.  Time to believe that God does not want me drifting off into La La land.
