I was recently driving in another state—North Carolina, I think—when I saw a sign that read “Speed Limit Enforced by Aircraft”.

It’s good to know that authorities are trying to keep the highways safe, but I’m not so sure the threat of aircraft is a good deterrent to would-be speeders. It seems that they would be more concerned about patrolmen closer by—in cars on the highway.

In the same way, I think that many people disregard the warnings God gives against sinning because they see him as being far removed from the scene of the crime. God is so far up above that he surely doesn’t have the ability to see every act of disobedience, does he?

Don’t be so sure!
