Growing up with the cartoon family of modern cavemen, was fun! I’m sure those wrapped up in the theory of Evolution, enjoyed getting a glimpse of early life before the invention of, well, everything! I enjoyed watching them get into their vehicle and zoom away on leg-power!
Two-weeks ago, we took a long trip for my wife’s sister’s memorial. Returning, we hit one of the thousands of potholes on Puerto Rico’s “pristine” roads. The Check Engine light went on. We continued for miles on end. Probably, fifty miles later, and dozens of bumps later, the light turned off the following week! This past week, it lit up again! When I shared our wonderful road adventures with my kids, especially about the Check Engine light, our youngest’ response was spot-on! She wrote, “It wants you to make sure it’s still there after that bump!!!
I immediately thought of the Flintstones! It sometimes feels as though parts of our vehicle drops on the roads as we go about our business! Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s happened! Nevertheless, time to head to the mechanic.
What about you? Are you hitting bumps and potholes in your daily living? Sometimes feel like the bottom’s falling out? Have you lost vital parts such as integrity, reliability, or self-discipline? Has your heart’s Check Engine light gone on? Are you waiting for a few more “bumps” to turn it off? Don’t ignore it! Read:
“For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemns us not, then have we confidence towards God” (1 John 3:20, 21).
Translation: If our heart convicts us, take the matter to God-He’s greater than our heart and understands us. But if all is well within our heart, we then have peace towards Him, and all’s good.
Read the fine print: “This is the book of the generation of Adam, in the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; male and female created he them; and blessed them” (Genesis 5:1,2).
In His image we were created; didn’t evolve from any fish, lower life-form, cavemen, Flintstones, or other things!
God Bless!
