Ignoring The Risk.

"Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me." – Psalm 19:13.

In 1982, "ABC Evening News" reported on an unusual work of modern art—a chair affixed to a shotgun. It was to be viewed by sitting in the chair and looking directly into the gun barrel. The gun was loaded and set on a timer to fire at a undetermined moment within the next hundred years.

The amazing thing was that people waited in lines to sit and stare into the shell's path!

They all knew that the gun could go off at point-blank range at any moment, but they were gambling that the fatal blast wouldn't happen during their minute in the chair.

Yes, it was foolhardy, yet many people who wouldn't dream of sitting in that chair live a lifetime gambling that they can get away with sin. Foolishly they ignore the risk until the inevitable self-destruction.

The Bible tells us in Joel 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because they have rejected knowledge…”

Hosea 14:9 “Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? Prudent, and he shall know them? For the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.”

Blessed Day!
