It looks normal...but it's not! This time of year we are reminded by the state police to drive carefully and to be on the lookout for slick spots. Some people call it "black ice." People travel roads thinking everything is just normal but then hit a patch of this ice and go hurling into a ditch or even worse: oncoming traffic!
I'm reminded that as Christ-followers we often hit slick spots in life. The Bible tells us that Satan is a deceiver and is the father of all lies. He sets traps for us and lays in waiting for us to spring the trap. We feel like life is going well and then just like a car hydroplaning on slick ice...we hit a slick spot of sin and go hurling out of control.
So what's the best way to avoid slick spots. Well, to be honest...we can't avoid them...but we can be very cautious. We can remain alert and watchful. Be another pair of eyes for your friends and family. The more we stay connected to God's Word the better our traction in life!
