Street Racing--A Clean Sweep

I thought I'd share just another city experience.
I was out doing some running...heading back home, I heard some lovely flute music from across the river. I thought I'd go check it out, only that as I got closer to the bridge to cross, the music seemed to also be moving. When I got to the place where the bridge and the street I was running on joined, I met with the vehicle producing the music--a street sweeper! Moving slower than other vehicles, it was possible to actually keep up with this music making, street cleaning orange beast! So I did. So here I was, running along the street, six feet away from this machine, blasting its "Happy-Street-Clean-Sweep" flute remix, as I'm almost sprinting to keep up with it. Though it was near the end of my run, I was strangely energized by the challenge! Yes, I kept up with it 'till I got to my crosswalk to turn. Take that! A whole lot of fun. Too bad I don't go running with a camera. No pics. Another experience of a small city guy in Daejeon, Metropolitan City.
It's interesting, though, because the street sweeper was going a lot slower than it could, and I was going almost my fastest, and it was, for a time, a good match (although I don't think I would've lasted much longer!) It made me consider that part of 1 Corinthians, where Paul the apostle says that the "foolishness" of God (if there could be) is still greater than the wisdom of man, and the weakness of God is stronger than man. Man at his best is still nothing compared to God at His "worst", if there was such a thing. I think it might be talking about the crucifixion of Christ, as God incarnate humbled Himself even unto death--which seems to be weakness and thought of as foolishness to the natural man. But look closer--it's the power and wisdom of God, for by the cross of Christ are our sins forgiven and cleansed, our guilt removed, and both justice and mercy satisfied.
