Have you ever barely missed another car? Your heart pumps madly as you realize the mortal danger.
In 1917, Dr. June McCarroll was driving her Model T down a paved road that became Highway 99. Suddenly, a ten-ton truck came barreling toward her. When she told the story later, she said she preferred veering onto the sandy soil alongside the road rather than risk a serious collision. The incident convinced her highways should have a white line down the center to protect motorists. She shared her idea with government authorities, but they didn’t respond. Finally, she painted a wide white line down that road in hopes of preventing such accidents. The California Department of Transportation credits her with the first road markings, although other states claim the honor.
Today, we are accustomed to the painted lines on the road. Without them we would face chaos and danger. Our gracious heavenly Father gave us His Word to direct our paths. In Scripture he reveals the nature of man and His design for the world. We live much more safely when we stay in our lane.
“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness.” -2 Timothy 3:16
Dear Heavenly Father, as we launch into the hot summer months, may we continue to keep our eyes on you and your steadfast grace. Keep us safe as we travel and help us remember to praise you for the wonder and beauty of your creation. Wherever we go, may we carry the fragrance of Christ and of the hope of eternal life. In the Name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
