So there’s this dog, see? Neil’s illustrations crack me up, although I’m guessing PETA might have things to say about beating the dog…
That being said, I was pondering the cause and effect at
play here…
I once had a roommate who was a little lost on the concept
of cause and effect. Unfortunate things
would happen to her, and she would never see them coming! (She is the sweetest person on the face of
the earth, for the record.) We would
watch things happen, see what was ahead, and think, Of course she’ll get it
this time! No, hardly ever.
The principle of cause and effect are written into the
universe; read the book of Proverbs if you need a refresher.
My point is this: we’ll
never overcome sin unless we identify the cause. Until we do, stuff will just keep happening
to us – or so it will seem.
Thank you, Neil, for reminding us that God would never set a
system in place in which we were powerless; He set us up to be able to
win.
Now, about that dog…
