“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Thursday; September 4, 2008

          There are three types of people around a hurricane.  There are those who hear the call for evacuation and flee, those who ignore the evacuation orders and stay; then, there are those who are attracted by the storm either as lookey-looes or as first responders.  While each of these groups could be a subject in their right, those who choose to stay either from a sense vain bravado or with an ignorance of the power within the force may be in the most danger. 

          Hundreds of years ago, a wise man warned of a particular type of people when he noted folly of “… feet that run rapidly to evil …” (Proverbs 6:18) yet, just like in the case of the storm, there may be another population in trouble.  When it comes to temptation, those who flee will typically be safe; those who embrace it will be swallowed-up; but, what about those who just hang around.  While some will ride-out the temptation; others will realize too late that the temptation was stronger than expected or their faith is weaker than they thought.

          When we face something that could destroy us, let’s dump our pride and make tracks to the safest place possible.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
