Traveling to work early that morning, I came behind a Mach truck loaded with logs. The driver pulled over to let me pass, and to my surprise and his, the rig rolled over into the ditch. What caused the accident was that the snowplow had pushed some of the snow over the ditch and hidden the fact that it was not part of the road. Looks can be deceiving.
Sadly, he’d decided to take his wife on this particular run. I don’t know if she ever got into a truck again. In any case, she experienced a rollover.
Those hidden things in life can also lead to disaster as Jude describes false teachers:
These are hidden reefs at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, shepherds feeding themselves; waterless clouds, swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted;
How much better to allow the One who sees all things be the chauffeur:
And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
Careful out there! It might look good, but looks can be deceiving.
Think about it.
