Authorities in Cape Haze, Florida claim they arrested a man after he had robbed a gas station. Nothing unusual about that. Police arrest people every day for robbery, and convenience stores/gas stations are often favorite targets. But what makes this case so strange is how they caught the thief. After the hold up (which the robber accomplished by threatening the cashier with a knife), the 23 year old took off in his car. However, he did not get very far as he ... are you ready for this? .. he RAN OUT OF GAS! Now ... there's a guy who failed to THINK AHEAD!
But that's true of many of us. We tend to be very MYOPIC (near-sighted) when it comes to life. We often don't think ahead. We are so into the present moment, we fail to give much thought about our future. As a result, we are often ill prepared for what comes down the highway of life.
In these difficult economic times, it is more important than ever that we THINK AHEAD! One way to do this is to be sure our financial house is in order. Do you have a will? Adequate life insurance? A budget for your financial spending and saving? Friends, we do not know what tomorrow holds. But we need to THINK AHEAD and prepare for WHATEVER and then leave the rest by faith in God's hands!
