Too Late

While driving on a four-lane highway this week something happened that can best be described by the words, "That was close."

The car in front of me and I were slowly passing an SUV, and the semi in front of him. Situation normal. Nothing to see here, right?

Suddenly, from under the semi, came an entire shredded tire. The SUV next to me had no choice but to run over it. Which he did. Boom!

The SUV driver had no choice because he was following too close behind the semi. And traveling at 70 mph, he had no chance to step on the brakes either.

A few moments later we all saw a car parked on the right side of the road. The driver was jacking up his trailer, which was missing a tire.

This situation could have ended really badly. Thankfully it didn't. But it made me think. How quickly life can change.

A former youth group kid was living a good life. Suddenly, she learns one of her children has leukemia. Boom!

My brother in law wasn't feeling good last month so he went to the doctor. Boom! Open heart surgery has been scheduled.

We don't really think about stuff like this but it happens everyday to someone. Sometimes someone we love.

Do you know Jesus? Is He the Lord of your life? Have you submitted to His will and given up your own? I pray that, if you haven't surrendered your heart to Jesus, that you would do so today. Because one day....

Boom!
