Some may look at this sign and do exactly what it says every-time. Some may see this sign and think it really doesn’t mean stop at this intersection. Then there are those who may think that this only means STOP if there are other cars coming or if the Police are watching.
So, what do you do? Do you stop, slow down, or ignore this sign.
This morning I’m reading Exodus 28. As I read, I am recognizing how detail-oriented God is. Now, when He says to use “purple thread” on the Ephod does that mean purple or a violet… it could mean some other shade of blue. I guess you may use whatever color you deem appropriate if you are one that doesn’t stop at the stop sign.
God is a God of details. He cares about the details of our lives. He desires the best for each of us… no matter where we may find ourselves within our circumstances… He cares.
The next time you are out driving and you see a sign that tells you what to do at the intersection, how fast you are to drive, or see on the pavement when and where you can change lanes – remember God cares about the details of your life. Probably a whole lot more than the DOT who is responsible for putting up those signs and markings on the road.
Thanks to Darrell for the insight here… Thanks for helping us make a memory too. What do you think – does he stop, coast, or speed up?
If God is saying Stop, then that is exactly what you do, stop. Not speed up or slow down, you stop. I was amazed at the details in Exodus as well. “Right down to the thread” is what I was thinking. It’s when we start examining other’s threads and not keeping our buisness on our own is when we wind up getting in trouble. That’s my experience anyway.
Hey, I actually stopped at a stop sign today, thanks to this blog!!
I hope my friend Dan D. reads your testimonial Joel!
