Yes, I know. Long time without a post. Well I'm claiming that God's grace extends to blogs. We'll go with that and move on.
I went to the Ohio State Fair this Sat. The Highway Patrol were directing people in the parking lot. One lady decided not to follow the flow and tried to park closer. She was immediately called on it and received a harsh reprimand to follow directions and park where she was told.
Seems a bit over the top doesn't it? After all, it's just parking.
No, he wasn't just correcting the parking. He was re-enforcing his authority. She hadn't just tried to park somewhere else, she has disobeyed an authority of the law. She had shown by her actions that she did not respect the authority the Patrolman had. That's what really needed the correction.
How many times do we not follow God in the little things? Jesus is our authority and it is our place to obey his commands. Those things might seem small, but it's the heart behind it which He will correct.
