Food for Thought



In 1981 California police were staging an intense search for

a stolen vehicle, even to the point of placing

announcements on local radio stations to contact the thief.

On the front seat of the stolen car sat a box of crackers that,

unknown to the thief, were laced with poison. The car

owner had intended to use the crackers as rat bait.

Now the police and the owner of the VW Bug were more

interested in apprehending the thief to save his life than to

recover the car.

So often when we run from God, we feel it is to escape his

punishment. But what we are actually doing is eluding his

rescue.
