Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Let your good spirit lead
me on a
level path.
Some people are hopeless. They never learn. But you and I are smarter than that. We
can learn
from past experiences. We can learn from what God has taught us.
(Psalm 143:10
NRSV)
There is a story of two hunters who flew deep into Canada in search of elk. When they
started
back home, their pilot, seeing that they had bagged six elk, told them the plane could
carry only
four out. The hunters protested, "The plane that carried us out last year was exactly
like this one.
The horsepower was the same, the weather was similar, and we had six elk then."
Hearing this,
the pilot reluctantly agreed to try. They loaded up and took off. Unfortunately the
plane did not
have sufficient power to climb out of the valley with all that weight, so they crashed. As
they
stumbled from the wreckage, one hunter asked the other if he knew where they were.
"Well, I'm
not sure," replied the second hunter, "but I think we are about two miles from where we
crashed
last year."
God of truth, continue to teach me your ways. Amen.
