Can't Drive 55?

"I Can't Drive 55" was a popular song of the 80's by Sammy Hagar. Although the speed limit on most roads today are far above the 55's of that time, the result of those lyrics can still be observed.

Come on, you know it's true... if someone is driving slower than you, then they're an idiot; someone driving much faster, a maniac. And, heaven forbid that someone drive the same speed... we just can't let that happen. You get the picture.

Spiritually speaking, we as believers sometimes respond the same way to our brothers and sisters of the faith. Some are moving at a slower pace in their walk while others seem to be blazing past us. And, if anyone is at our same "maturity level"... well, we just can't let that happen. You get the picture.

The "god complex" that resides within this flesh is always at war with our desire to die to self in order to become more like Christ. With this comes our knee-jerk reaction to be judgmental with others - wherever they are in their walk - when we should be more concerned we our own station in life.

Make a decision each and every day, "I will show mercy and grace to those with which I share this journey and focus on my own spiritual growth." I think you'll discover that such an attitude will make this "road" trip much more enjoyable.
