“Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.”
I have no idea how I get into these situations, but I was in one earlier today. I had an appointment at a café that was attached to a super market. As I was pulling into the parking lot, I noticed a young man starting to back out with a gallon of milk on the top of his car.
I stopped behind him and honked my horn. He seemed to be unaware of what I was trying to tell him. I honked again and motioned for him to roll down his window. Again he failed to understand. Other people were now honking and trying to get his attention.
Suddenly he put his car in reverse and began to back toward me. I was sure he would run into the side of my car. Just as he was about to hit my car he started forward and tried to drive through the opening to his left.
At that moment someone ran up to his window, grabbed the gallon of milk and showed it to him. Disaster was diverted and the man was able to return home with the milk that had come so close to falling on the ground.
I have been thinking about the incident all afternoon and evening. The honking did not work. The shouting did not work. It was not until someone took the milk and handed it to the driver that he stopped and received it.
All around us there are folks who leave the milk of God’s Word outside their lives. It is heartbreaking to observe as they refuse to heed our warning. Perhaps it is because we stay too far away and fail to get close enough to hand the milk to them.
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
