My dear friends, have you ever driven on a long stretch of highway, feeling the monotony of the road lull you into a drowsy state? It's a dangerous situation, isn't it? One moment of inattention, and you could find yourself drifting off the road, into danger.
But thank God for the rumble strip on the side of the freeway! That simple, unassuming strip of grooves in the pavement can be a lifesaver. It's designed to jolt you awake if you start to drift off course. It's a warning that says, "Wake up! You're in danger!"
His Word to keep us from drifting off course in our spiritual lives. In Romans 13:11, the Apostle Paul says, "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed."
My friend, it's high time we awake! We live in a world that is constantly trying to lull us into spiritual slumber. We can become so focused on the things of this world that we forget about the things that matter most. We can become so comfortable in our routines that we forget about the urgency of the Gospel.
But just like the rumble strip on the side of the freeway, God's Word is there to wake us up. It's a warning that says, "Wake up! You're in danger!" It's a reminder that our time on Earth is so transitory.
Let us be vigilant and watchful, knowing that our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. Let us not be caught off guard by the cares and distractions of this world, but let us be focused on the things that matter most.
And just like the rumble strip on the side of the freeway, let us be grateful for the warnings that God has given us in His Word. Let us be quick to repent and turn back to Him when we find ourselves drifting off course.
And may we always remember the words of Romans 13:11, "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed." Amen.
