Fault
1 Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2 We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. James 3:1-2
Today my son threw a baseball to me. I didn't catch it and it hit me in my big toe. As I look at it and see it swell and turn purple, I feel a lot of pain. Now who's fault was it that it hit my big toe. Well, my son thought it was his fault for throwing the ball too low. I thought it was the ball's fault for being hard, or was it really my fault for not getting the glove low enough to catch his throw. At times as Christians, people place us on a pitcher's mound of control and expect us to be perfect. When we do stumble off the mound and walk into sin, people see that loss of control and can judge us. We all know that we need to take a deep breath, reflect and look to the Lord for helping us control our pitches in life. We do not need think that we have all the control with that perfect pitch, because we all have faulty form. Learn to control your body through Christ and pitch that perfect game with His help, and try not to use your so-called perfect pitch because you know you don't have it.
Have a great weekend.
