Yesterday’s edition of the Wichita Eagle ran a story on solar powered cars, and reported that, “Engineering students built the cars to reduce aerodynamic drag but also to absorb the most sunlight.”

After reading the design of the engineers, I thought of Romans 14:13-14: “Let us live decently as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in discord and jealousy. Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh to arouse its desires.”

In these verses Paul warns you about the “drag” of sin on your spiritual walk. He also gives a clue to the source of your power: “put on the Lord Jesus Christ. Just as the solar powered car is designed “to absorb the most sunlight,” you are to walk in the light as He is in the light, so you can fellowship with Him (I John 1:7).

Absorbing the Son’s light is the secret to an aerodynamic life.
