I stopped at a four-way intersection as three more cars stopped one after the other at all the stop signs. As each driver took their turn to pass through, one driver didn’t wait his turn. He zoomed across the street almost colliding with a truck that was in the right-of-way. A serious accident was barely avoided.

In witnessing this near-collision, I pondered the importance of obeying law.

The impatient driver broke the rules of the road endangering himself and others.

In this universe, divine laws exist to maintain order and harmony, laws of Love that produce health and peace in our lives. When we ignore the laws, usually in an act of selfishness, we set ourselves up for trouble and needless harm. When we obey the laws, they bless us and protect us from danger.

We always have time to obey God’s laws and put them into practice. There is no need for impatience or mindless haste.
