TRUST
Today's reading: Proverbs 28
"Trusting oneself is foolish, but those who walk in wisdom are safe." Proverbs 28:26 NLT
When I read this verse, and I know this will sound a lot less than spiritual, but I think of Little Debbie.
Not some lovely child in my Wednesday night children's class.
Not some poor unfortunate waif I have met at the local school.
The Little Debbie I refer to is the lunch cake queen, one of my favorite bakers, the hallowed pig-tailed beauty of a snacker's dreams.
You see, I cannot invite her to my home.
Her boxes of goodies cannot go for a ride in my grocery cart.
Her wares I cannot be trusted with.
That is wisdom...knowing my limits, realizing my weaknesses, refusing to depend upon my self-control, not buying into what she sells.
