I was speaking with my Wife the other day about the brutal story of
the farmer that killed his two(2) children. The very act of slashing
your own child's throat seem even more cruel/ gruesome than a man
shooting another human. It speaks of the true intention of what the
heart is capable of.
I cried when I read that
story because I tried to put myself in that man's shoes to
even fathom how can he do such a thing, how can he take the very lives
of the children he brought into this world. It seemed ludicrous that
there are persons of this nature out there.
But, I
stopped and think about the scripture that encourages us to, "Let this
mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus". I think we might take it
lightly but it made me realize that there is a protection of our
thoughts and control of the mind when we submit our mind to Christ
daily. If it wasn't for God covering, that could have been any one of us
living in today's world.
So, the next time you look in
the mirror and see the man/woman facing you, think that this could have
been the other you outside of God's covering, it makes me just to want
praise him some more, how about you?
