When I see someone swerving in and out of their lanes, I immediately start driving defensively. I know they are dangerous, whether they are drunk, tired, or just plain careless. God wants us to know that the same thing will happen to us if we let ourselves wander around and try out every kind of temptation. Let's keep our eyes on Jesus and stay on the straight and narrow!

Prayer

Please forgive me, loving Father, for being so easily tempted to do wrong. Please give me the sense to see what the evil one has planned for me and the strength to avoid and fight it. Please make Jesus, His costly sacrifice, and His holy life very real to me today and every day as I try to be Your holy child in a corrupt world. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
