So, I've been thinking this morning about the road of
depravity. If you think about the road of depravity like the road up in Alaska
that the Ice Road Truckers drive on it's a very slippery slope and there is no room
for error. On this road you must be very careful. You have to drive down to
very center of the road. For myself if I was driving 80000 pounds down a
sheet of ice I would have to totally rely on the Lord and the skills that he
has taught me to navigate. There is absolutely no room for error. the
moment I decide to navigate my own way instead of relying on him is when the
trouble begins. When I start to veer off center I have two choices I can
rely on Holy Spirit or I can put my confidence in my flesh that I can get back
to Center. My Flesh says adjust quickly and jerk your steering wheel back over
to Center. If I do that, I’m probably going to slide off the road.
The other CHOICE is I can rely on Holy Spirit who says don't get in a
hurry slow down follow me and get back to Center. I had a friend one time tell
me don't get ahead of the one who leads. For me I think many times I get
ahead of the one who leads instead of just resting and listening. Everything
today is so fast-paced and the I want it now mentality.
So how is your driving?
Phi. 3:2 Becoming
affectionately acquainted with throne room thoughts will keep you from being
distracted again by the earthly realm. THE MIRROR
Phi 3.3 For we are the
circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and
put no confidence in the flesh ESV
Phi. 3:5 Consider the members
of your body as dead and buried towards everything related to the porn
industry, sensual uncleanness, longing for forbidden things, lust and greed,
which are just another form of idol worship. (Idol worship is worshipping a
distorted image of yourself!) 3:6 These distorted expressions are in total
contradiction to God’s design and desire for your life.
THE MIRROR
I know some of you have the instincts to drive on Ice so it
is just an analogy it is just where He took me this morning.
