Scorpion sting? Lose everything! Proverbs 6:27

Good morning all.  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

Today's Bible devotional was very good and I don't believe I can say it better.  This is talking about Aesop telling the story of the scorpion's sting.  Aesop tell of a boy hunting for locusts.  The lad had caught quite a few when he saw a scorpion.  Mistaking it for a locust, he reached out his hand to take it.  The scorpion showed his stinger and said, If you had but touched me, my friend, you would have lost me, and all your locusts too!

   There are some things you cannot embrace without losing what you have in the process.  King Solomon said in Proverbs 6:27 "Can a man take fire to his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

We have to be aware that is the beautiful creation God man there are flower and songbirds, but there are also scorpions and fires.  We need to remember the Bible gives us insights to help us understand the wisdom of an eternal God who loves us far more than our own mothers and fathers do.

Life offers us choices. Christ graciously offers us forgiveness for what is past, and wisdom for what yet lies ahead.   The lessons of life are best learned when Chrsit is your teacher.

Love you all.  In Christ's Love and Grace
