Karen and I were stuck in traffic for over 3 hours when I-10 shut down due to a fatality. We were on the HOV lane headed into Houston from Katy last Thursday. It wasn’t long before many cars passed us in a zone marked as no passing. They were getting ahead at our expense. I knew the police would be occupied with the accident and would not bother with these lawbreakers. How much time could I save if I joined them? What would that do to my witness? Would anyone I know see me? These are some of the questions that came to my mind as I had plenty of time to think about their actions. Then I was reminded that I was not accountable for their actions, only mine.
So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin. James 4:17
