I got behind a vehicle the other day and I wasn’t tailgating them, but I did want to get close enough to read the sticker on their back glass.  It said, “Do You Follow Jesus This Close?”  I love that.

It’s true we are in such a hurry that you can’t even drive the speed limit without getting ran over.  The sticker not only gets everyone’s attention and asks if they have a relationship with Jesus, but also says stop following so close to me.  It’s true though are you as close as you and your vehicle are to me as you are with Jesus?    

The other day we had a snowstorm in Arkansas.  I say snowstorm.  We got 13 inches of snow in my little town, and we are not used to that kind of snow.  And it reminded me of Psalm 46:10 “Be still and know that I am God.”  (Bible Gateway ESV 2025) The snow really slowed us down for a few days.  It would melt and then freeze again, leaving ice on the road.  I think God was saying slow down and read my Word, meditate on it, spend time with family, and know that I am God.  I think God was saying draw closer to Me, get to know Me better.
