Good Morning, God,
The headline spoke to us regarding traffic and parking laws and their associated fines last week, Lord.
One story wants fines for parking wrongly or too long to increase… A one dollar ticket would increase to five dollars, then to $10, if not paid within 24 hours. The thought is, besides breaking the law, the higher ticket penalties would help the offenders take the violations more seriously.
Then, Lord, is the guy who believes pretty much all traffic laws are illegal; in fact, he says that the Supreme Court has said that we are all "sovereign people," subject only to God, the Constitution, and "lawful laws."" It seems that we also have the right to travel freely and unencumbered… Unencumbered by traffic laws.
You know, Lord, if we were truly all sovereign people, subject first to your law, then we would not need to have any law but yours: Loving you and loving each other, doing what is safest and best for all.
But until then we are one nation under God... and traffic laws!
In Jesus' name, Amen.
