Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he'll have to touch it to be sure.” Murphy's Law
“But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." Gen.2 ESV
People usually want to do what is forbidden them. Tell a child he can play in the backyard but not the front and guess where they want to play. Tell an adult not to cross a guard rail, even if it was put there for their protection, and you will see them crossing it. Our first parents sowed this behavior in each of us when they ate from that one tree denied them. If we would know joy's contentment we must learn to embrace the boundaries that are placed on us. Boundaries, however they come to us, are often the kind expressions of God, like a leash is to a puppy out for a walk next to a busy street. 8/12/2011 Conversations Within ts (Moab UT)
Just me trying to be honest with God.
