Speed Trap
I live near one of the busiest intersections in town. I also live right across the street from a fire station. So, when I don’t hear the sounds of the cars whizzing by, the fire whistle is usually going off. My realtor didn’t point this out when I bought my place…maybe that’s why I got such a good deal on it! But, it’s not really all that bad. The traffic thins out pretty much by the time it comes in front of my door. And, the firemen are very considerate at night.
There are also some large, beautiful bushes near the road by the fire station. They’re so tall that a driver who comes speeding around the curve can’t possibly see the police car sitting behind them. I’ve seen several drivers get “caught” in this speed trap.
Many of us get caught in “speed traps” all the time…all because we don’t think we’ll get caught. Then, when we do get caught, we get upset because the guy who was driving even faster than we were, speeds right on by as the officer is writing out our ticket. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think that’s fair. It really makes me mad!
The prophet Isaiah had some words that may make this a little easier to take. In Isaiah 64:8 he said that we are just like clay in the Potter’s hands. We are the work of His hands. Every time we get caught, God is continuing to mold us and shape us in to the vessel He wants us to be.
So, the next time you get caught, rejoice! Be glad! God is not done with you yet.
