CATCHING UP
Two Alabama State Troopers were chasing a Camaro east on I-20
toward Georgia. When the suspect crossed the Georgia line, the first
Trooper pulled over quickly.
The rookie Trooper pulled in behind him and said, "Hey Sarge, why
did you stop?"
The Sergeant replied, "Stupid rookie, he's in Georgia now. They're
an hour ahead of us, so we'll never catch him."
I know the feeling. Not of being in a car chase, but of feeling
that there's no way I can ever catch up. I experience it weekly, if not
daily. There never seem to be enough hours in a day. I always feel one
step behind where I ought to be. Do you know the feeling as well?
Allow me to remind you of a Bible verse:
"Be still, and know that I am God." (Psa. 46:10)
But I can't take time to be still! I have places to go, things to
do, phone calls to make, deadlines to meet!
"Be still, and know that I am God."
But if I do that, I'll never get caught up!
"Be still, and know that I am God."
Father, forgive me of the times that I am in such a hurry that I
have no time for you. Please quiet my spirit and remind me of who you
are and how much I need you. In Jesus' name, amen.
