stoned and rolling // Monday E-Devotion

Proverbs 26:27 (nasb) --- He who digs a pit will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone, it will come back on him.

Maybe I am off or a little strange, but I have a word today that might hit all of us where we need it. In reading Proverbs this morning, as I try to do every day, I came across this verse that I have seen and quoted like a million times. But it was different this time.

I began to think about the positive side of the verse rather than the negative. We need to do that more often. It might help us better understand walking with Jesus. It may even help in other areas too (like with our spouses and bosses).

Here are my thoughts:

How did we dig pits where people fall into Jesus?

How do we roll a stone, like a huge and creative idea that wins people to Jesus, so I will be consumed by it?

The answers are simple. What I roll with will roll me. What I dig into will dig into me.

What is certian that this stoned and rolling issue asks us what are we doing with Jesus?

Colossians 2:6 (nlt) --- And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him.
