The Height for Your Neck
In the late 1970s, a 20 year-old man was on a snowmobile in Colfax, Iowa. He was racing around on the glistening, white snow, and sped between two wooden posts at about thirty miles an hour. That was the last thing he did. A thin, almost invisible wire between the posts decapitated him. Satan will let you race around, enjoying the pleasures of sin. But the pleasure is only for a season. If you are in his territory, you therefore give him permission to devour you. According to Jesus, his will is to "kill, steal and destroy,"(John 10:10) and somewhere he has a wire strung at just the right height for your neck. All he needs is a little cooperation. He wants you to put your foot on the accelerator and get up a little speed. Stay out of his playground. Keep your heart free of sin. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
