Keep alert, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong.
He couldn't even phone for help--the telephone cable was burned through before he
could call the
fire department. "I still want to see that mole dead," he said.
We can appreciate his frustration, but his is an example of truly making mountains out
of
molehills. He had lost his perspective. Somehow his priorities were out of whack. Don't
let that
happen to your faith.
(1
Corinthians
16:13
NRSV)
Somewhere I read about an English home owner who declared war against the mole
that had been
burrowing unsightly tunnels throughout his property. Moles are nocturnal animals, so
he drove
his Jaguar onto the lawn to hunt the mole down with the aid of its headlights. The car
stalled.
When he got it started again, it lurched into gear and out of control. Onward it rolled
until it
crashed into his house. The car's fuel tank ruptured and burst into flames, which
quickly reached
the house and burned it to the ground.
Loving God, my faith is very important to you and to me. May I always keep it on the top
of my
list. Amen.
