Keep your head in the game

The other day my husband and I were leaving our hotel room when we got stopped by a red light.  There was a car in front of us and we were talking to each other-not really paying attention to the light.

The car in front of us proceeded to go and my husband followed until I said "whoa-that light is still red!" The guy in front of us randomly ran the red light. My husband was deceived because the driver stopped first, then ran the red light.

What amazed me was that my husband was so involved in our conversation that he didn't pay attention-he just went.

How many times do we go around in life not paying attention? As a result, we fall into the same mistakes that others make.  Unfortunately, mistakes like that can be costly.  It is important to pay attention in our godly walk.

We can not follow the lead of those who are reckless. We can not proceed without using caution.
We must pay attention to things in life that attempt to throw us off course.

The enemy will throw anything at us in order to get us off track.  If another car had been coming and my husband would have continued through the light, we could have had an accident and it would have been our fault!

There are those that will try to disprove our God, make us question God's word and make every effort to make us fail despite what God has promised us!  That is not new- it happened in Genesis 3 when the serpent convinced Eve to follow his direction.  We know the end result- we are all paying for it.

So when you are walking or driving around, not paying attention- beware not to follow those who would lead you down the wrong path.

Keep your head in the game and your eyes focused on God!


Do not be misled, bad company corrupts good character. 1 Corinthians 5:33
