Read where some girl in Kansas was getting her senior picture made with a tiger. The tiger overwhelmed the trainer and killed the girl. Now what's wrong with this picture?
Didn't Sigfried and Roy have something similar happen to them? One of them was clipped by one of the tigers and the thing carried him away. He still hasn't recovered and to this day he claims the tiger is his friend. Grabbed him by the neck and he nearly bled to death and the thing is still his buddy?
What do tigers do? They kill and eat. They are carnivores. That's what they do. You don't have to train them. In fact, I know of no vegetarian tiger. It just comes naturally.
Some many of us do the same thing with sin in our lives. We know it's there. We know what it will do. Yet for some reason it's our best friend. I know how to handle it. I've got experience with this. But Satan, whom Jesus called the father of lies, says, "sin can be your best friend. Nothing to it. It won't really hurt you. Relax."
I believe Isaiah said, "Woe unto them who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter." The Scripture also says to flee evil desires. Joseph when confronted with Potiphar's wife fled. That's what you do when next to a tiger. You run. You get out of there. That's what you do with sin.
Peter said that the devil is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Run! Have a good day. JW
