I really have to wonder about people and if they are trying to end their lives earlier than they should. Some think, that the can live how they want and that God will protect them and not allow them to die earlier than they were supposed too.
Be careful with this thought because you can end your life early. God does allow you to die sooner that He had planned.
Ecclesiastes 7:17 New International Version (NIV)
17 Do not be overwicked,
and do not be a fool—
why die before your time?
Why do I say these this, well it has to do with the way people act. Today’s response to conflict is to shoot then ask questions versus just discussing and coming to resolution.
People are impatient and by being so can and have killed people. Recently, an acquaintance was killed because a young lady delivering pizzas was either in a hurry or too inexperienced and pull out in front of her causing the person she was with and her to be thrown from the motorcycle and killed at the scene. All vehicles involved also caught fire and the young lady was taken to the hospital to take care of her injuries. But I too have experienced this type of behavior. I am almost upon a person and instead of waiting 20 seconds or less, they pull out in front of me and then go super slow causing me to slam on my brakes.
People do drugs, jump in and try to communicate with very large wild animals that are caged, drive a very high speeds, shoot at police or other people, and the list goes on. Why? I have no idea other than they have a death wish.
Who or what is driving this type of behavior? There is only one answer that is Satan. Sure there are people and even churches that today preach that Satan does not exist or that is not what God really meant. Be careful with this approach. You either believe the Bible is the word of the Lord or you do not. You do not get to pick and choose what part you believe and do not believe.
My reason for writing this is simple, think before you act and be patient. God gave you a brain so use it. Do not expect people to act they way you think they should because there will be that one time they do not and poof you are dead. If it takes you 1 minute longer to pull out from a stop sign for example, is that worth yours or another persons life?
I pray that you will make smart decisions so you can live your life to the fullest for the Lord.
