Devotionals
Walking in a pasture and enjoying the beauty of a spring day, a man
nearly stepped on a pile of cow dung. “Hmmm”, he thought. “I think I
can do something about that”. So the brainy lil dude hoofed it back
to the house. He shuffled past his wife and into the laundry room.
Grabbed the bleach bottle and cruised toward the front door. “What do
you intend to do with MY bleach”? He should have known she’d notice.
He never does the laundry. “I got sumptin needs cleanin up a
smidge”. She gave him that laser beam look that only a wife can give
a husband. “Well when you’re done put it back”. He slinked through
the door.
Down the front porch and on toward the pile of dung, his pace
quickened. He knew what he wanted to do and there was that
“giterdone” set to his jaw. Standing over the pile he took the shoe
off his right foot. Uncapping the bottle, he poured some bleach on
his foot. Then with a winning champ look on his face, he slammed his
foot right into the pile. “SPLAT”!
He hobbled back to the house with a great triumph in his heart.
Though crap was all over his foot, he wasn’t gettin germs from
it.
Isn't it like us to cover our sin with justification? We say the Grace of the Lord covers me in this sin. How foolish. Rid yourself of the sin. There's no need to step in it. Avoid it by that same Grace you claim to cover it.
By His Grace.
