When I was five years old there was a very steep rocky cliff near my house.
One day peering over the edge of this precipice I was curious how far I could scoot off the edge,
and for the first few inches, all was fine.
Sliding down a bit further still seemed easy to back up if I wanted to.
So far so good... BUT...
Slidding down a LITTLE MORE the rocks started to get a little slippery. When I tried to scoot back up, I realized I’d gone too far and started a slow - Then QUICK - slide down the cliff faster than the slide at the playground!
Crashing to the bottom and crying hysterically I wondered HOW I could possibly get back up? Fortunately I landed in the backyard of a kindly old man, and between my tears he managed to pry my name out of me, looked up my home phone number in the white pages (remember those?!?) and called my dad to come rescue me out of my folly.
Big mistakes in life start JUST like that slippery slope.
First is curiosity — like flirting with a co-worker behind your spouse’s back, or secretly doing or looking at things you know are wrong. Before you realize it you’ve slipped too far down - and just like that rocky slope - eventually keep sliding down to your doom...and can’t get back up.
However there is a HEAVENLY FATHER that you can call that CAN SAVE YOU - and that call starts like this:
“When I confessed my sins to you and
did not conceal what I did wrong,
I decided to confess all of them to you and
YOU FORGAVE ME OF ALL MY SINS.”
Psalm 32:5
Friend, God is Always quick to forgive and get you back home. His number is in the book of the 'White Pages of the Bible.'
If you’ve slid down a slippery slope of sin,
Will you make that call today?
God Bless Your Day
