Most of us have seen that movie Jurassic Park. And we all get a giggle during that part where the mathametician is on the back of the jeep hurt and the female paleantologist is driving like the wind to escape a Tyrannosauraus Rex chasing them. She looks in her mirror to see how far behind he is and, this is where we laugh a little bit, we see written on the mirror, "Objects May Appear Closer Than They Really Are," and we see a very close up version of a T-Rex causing her to panic a little and drive a little faster.
When we make a decision to live a new life in Jesus,we jump into our jeep and start driving away from the sin that is chasing us. We look into the sideview mirror and it seems to be right at our heels when really it's a lot farther away. The Devil uses this "tricky" mirror to make us believe we are not moving along too far when in fact we are maintaining quite a safe distance. All we need to do is keep driving to our destination. Resist looking in that "tricky" mirror and keep your eyes on the road ahead.
"Bretheren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead. I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." Phillipians 3:13-14
