Leave It!
Written by Barb Zeller, 2008-11-19
Tiger (the puppy) is learning a new command and I am pondering a spiritual truth. I pray this blesses you as well.
***
The lure
The command, “leave it”
Saucer shaped eyes fixated
Slurpy tongue drooling
Twitching muscles ready in anticipation
Then the choice
The eyes break away
They find the master’s face, the body relaxes
Joy, praise, rewards follow
The master removes the untouched lure
Obedience, a choice worth making
For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people. Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I am full of joy over you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil. Romans 16:18-19
