Dont Look Back

If you have ever run over a small animal on the highway, you
know the feeling. You feel awful. You feel that horrible thud
under your tires for miles and miles, it seems. You try to tell
yourself it happened too fast to react, but then you start
doubting that. You wonder if you could have slowed down. The
more you think about it, the whole thing slows down in your
memory, and you wonder if you have the time to be conscious of
so many details, why you didn’t have the time to react. Then you
start wondering if you left babies somewhere crying for their
mother.
I ran over a squirrel once. The little guy appeared from out of
nowhere dashing across the street right in front of me. At
first, it looked like he was going to make it. I actually
remember encouraging him under my breath: “Go… go… go! You’re
almost there!” But then, of all things, he stopped, hesitated
for a split second and darted back. “Thump, thump!” went my tire
over the poor little creature. That split-second hesitation and
decision to turn back turned him into instant road kill.
It was so pointless. He was already home free when he turned
back. Why did he do that? The only thing I can figure is that he
suddenly sensed the seriousness of his predicament, and in his
fear, he tried to go back to where he thought he would be safe.
Is there a lesson here? You bet there is. Don’t turn back. God
leads us forward, and even if you’ve made a mistake, He’ll show
you a way through it if you keep on going. The past always seems
safer, but you can’t go there anyway. And if you get afraid (you
feel that big rolling ton of metal bearing down on you) don’t
hesitate; don’t stop; and don’t go back for anything.
Go… go… go! You’re almost there now! Keep on!
