4x4's Don't Make You Invincible...

A white Christmas is what we had yesterday and it continues snowing this morning :) I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas day with your family and loved ones? As you can imagine, with the snow and freezing temperatures come dangerous road driving conditions. Last night the freeways were closed due to these dangerous road conditions. What always amazes me are people who think because they drive a big 4 wheel drive vehicle that they can drive however they want, regardless of how bad conditions may be. It's as if they see themselves as invincible. Yet so many wrecks, slide-offs and injuries involve 4x4 vehicles. I think this false sense of security unfortunately puts many people at risk. Being in a 4x4 sliding on ice is certainly no better than any other vehicle. I think the same can be true when it comes to life. Too many people rely on their own self-sufficiencies thinking that they're going to be fine. Unfortunately this isn't the case and couldn't be farther from the truth. I thought I was a pretty self-sufficient person but was I ever wrong. I recognized my great need for a Savior. And ever since I've been living for Him, my life has been completely different. Just because you have a 4x4, don't be fooled into thinking you're invincible. And just because you are self-sufficient, don't be fooled into thinking you don't need a Savior. Psalm 16:1, "Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust."
