Opportunities and Possibilities!

Reverend Ben Colley dropped by my humble cubicle and left some profound religious knowledge with me. He always does! Remember Reverend Ben? He was the inspiration of a few of my blogs, 1-2-3 Red Light, Hide and Go Seek, the Wizard of Oz. He asked me if I had seen the Progressive Snapshot commercial. Snapshot is a small device that you plug into the OBDII port of your car. Once plugged in, the Snapshot monitors your driving habits. Based on how carefully you drive you can qualify for up to a 30% discount on your auto insurance. Is this when we begin to slide down the slippery slope of allowing our driving habits to be remotely monitored 24/7? It’s about keeping up with good driving habits which can result in saving you some money. That little device can keep up with 24 hours a day if you choose to use it and stay with that particular insurance company. But what do you think God’s snapshot of us will look like? He monitors our behavior all of our lives whether we choose to do right or wrong. Our choices can dictate our opportunities but can limit or expand our possibilities. The adversary would prefer us to make a quick choice without involving God. The enemy would want us to take the wrong path which can affect us negatively for the rest of our lives. Things are tough enough as they are, no need of making them any worse by looking back and questioning what could have been. Our possibilities to become what we could have been were blocked by our choices. In all that we do, we must include God, Who will direct our paths. When we exclude Him, problems arise. When we close our opportunities, we shut our possibilities. As always, thanks Reverend Ben.
