Sin and Sinkholes

Here’s a little devotional thought that seems to go hand-in-hand with what I wrote a couple weeks ago about having deep roots.

This dramatic photo is not airbrushed or photo-shopped.  It’s a real sinkhole that opened up in Guatemala after after tropical storm ‘Agatha’ and the image was published by both National Geographic and the BBC.

Amazing, no?  And absolutely terrifying.  The idea that a hole that big could open up right under your feet…   man.   It’s chilling.   Cars? Houses? People?  Sinkholes can swallow them all.  This one ate a three story building.

What causes things like this?  It’s simple:  erosion.  The deterioration of foundations.

So today, a simple question for you:   what’s eroding your life these days?    That ‘harmless little vice’ you’ve been keeping tucked away?  It’s far from harmless.  That secret sin that you justify by telling yourself that it’s no big deal and that everyone else does the same thing?   It’s liable to swallow your building.

Don’t EVER let your foundation be compromised. Don’t let those things erode your soul.  Shine some light into those dark places, confess your sin and let God rebuild what’s been eroded.

You’re in my prayers.

Hasta.
