Today’s Thought “Fly Bait” G. Ward

“Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” James 1:2-4

 

Springtime unleashes those pesky diptera (scientific name), ruining outdoor events, landing on our favorite delicacies and exotic beverages; flies and more flies! Many concoctions have been sought to avoid these elusive tiny giants. I say giants because on one hand they’re pesky and on another, great additions to Holy God’s ecological demands.

We’ve been consumed with ridding ourselves against the many presumed irritants life may propose, not allowing a moment’s penetration; to rarely acknowledge perceived adversity as a builder in perseverance. Moreover, as the fly is worthy of swatting before he lands on Grandma’s pie, he is yet celebrated in consuming the spillage after we leave the picnic grounds.

Happy Tuesday!
