Traction

Traction: the action of drawing or pulling something over a surface; the support or interest that is needed for something to make progress or succeed.

Living in a state that gets snow, I know how important traction is when driving or even walking. Physical harm can come if traction is limited or non-existent.  I used to have to drive around with four-hundred pounds of cat litter in my car trunk just to stay safely on the road. But many time, even that didn't keep me from going sideways.

I needed more traction, or maybe a different type of traction to stay on the road. I needed support to make progress. I still do, but in a different arena. My mind. 

Many books have been written about the mind being a battlefield, because it's true. Our thoughts can push us off the road before we even know it. The world, especially social media, can veer us so much that we wind up in a ditch. Which is why we need to read, understand and implement God's words. They give us traction to move forward in a slippery world. They are solid and never changing. They provide insight and direction. They comfort us, encourage us, awaken us and bring peace. 

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you." Psalm 32:8

How's your mental driving? Could you use some traction? Is the world getting to you? There may be days when it seems as if evil is winning, but remember, in Psalm 2 God tells us He scoffs at evil. He looks at those who do evil with mockery because He knows the winner of our souls has already been determined. Perhaps we need to remember that also. In the end, we win. 

You're in control of your mental driving. Buckle up, hit the gas, and make sure you have the right traction.
