Grace and Geese

GRACE AND GEESE

I was driving 55mph this past week in the middle of rush hour when suddenly the traffic on both sides of a 4 lane road came to a COMPLETE stop and I noticed a family of 9 geese took their time crossing over to the other side.  In that moment, I laughed.  Cute little 2ft creatures completing stopping traffic at rush hour, interesting thought….

Traffic rarely stops for anything.  Including people!  We teach our children at early ages NOT to run into the street.  We would never say, son, go get 9 of your best friends and cross the highway at rush hour to the other side.  And Yet we do this in our personal lives much too often.  Not with traffic of course but spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally we do right down stupid things. 

That leads me to my WORD for the day from GOD’s WORD.  GRACE.  This visual of geese crossing the street is my reminder that when I step into SIN it is like walking out into the middle of rush hour traffic and facing it.  And God is like the cars that stop and say “Here child, take my hand, I am going to walk you over to the other side safely.” 

But where sin increased and abounded grace has surpassed it and increased the more and superabounded.  Romans 5:20

So the next time you step into a street of oncoming traffic and need  saving grace, call on the ONLY one who can supply it.  Jesus Christ died to give us the most awesome gift we will EVER need in this life.  Amazing Grace how sweet the sound… I once was lost and now am found.
