On Auto Pilot?

A true woman says, "Yes, Lord".
The Word of God is her compass, motivating her to live intentionally and counter-culturally.
  • 2 Peter 3:17-18 "I am warning you ahead of time, dear friends, so that you can watch out and not be carried away by the errors of these wicked people.  I don't want you to lose your own secure footing.  But grow in the special favor and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Have you ever pulled your car out of your driveway, began heading down the street and realize that you are going the wrong way?  Or have you started driving and thought, “Why am I going south towards the church?  I should be going north to the doctor's appointment.” 
You didn’t go the wrong way on purpose, you just started driving on “auto pilot”.  You did it without thought. You did it unintentionally. 

Scary, huh?
Peter warns us to think ahead, watch out and don’t get carried off in the wrong direction.  Don’t just go on auto pilot.  Be mindful of what you are doing. 
This is intentional living. 
This is living with purpose.  
This is deliberately living a life designed by God. 
 
I wonder, how many other drivers out there are on "auto pilot"? 

Scary, huh?
