The other evening I was attending a meeting and someone had something very embarassing happen to them. My mind immediately went back a couple years ago when I went to a local mom and pop watering hole. As I left I ran into a table where a man was having lunch. The table rocked and all the condiments fell over. He cursed and I just walked out in embarasment. I decided to not go back to this place. That is too bad because they have excellent deep fried culliflower.
As I was thinking about these unfortunate situations I was reminded of Psalms 55:6, “And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.” I know that I wanted to “fly away” at that second. Yes, after all this time I have not returned. Sometimes, you have to just swallow your pride and go back. Since I have not found another place to get deep fried culliflower I will either go without it or I will have an appetizer of “crow” before I return.
Don’t let some event like this keep you from serving Jesus Christ. Don’t let it keep you from going back to Church. An appetizer is one thing; but, ministry or Church attendance is a whole different ballgame.
So, how are you doing?
