When Christians sin (and we do, daily), we soon feel the sting of His correction, just as we did when our parents went about correcting us when we were little and made mistakes.
Romans 8 is a very comforting read for me, as I'm sure it is for all Christians who read it and absorb it.
Today was sadly routine for me in the area of sinning. I have to think I earned my object lesson - it appears I've lost about $100 in cash, probably hooked and pulled out of my pocket by my own car keys, and dropped on the ground only to be blown away.
My nose was too high in the air to notice the loss.
The lesson is: I shouldn't think so highly of myself that I (in my mind) look down on others; I did that a lot today in reaction to lots of folks, including extremely overweight folks at the Hershey factory, people who just HAD to pull out in front of me on the highway, and people who didn't get ready to go through the checkout line until they were at the register.
Yup, the best antidote for MY affliction today was a good healthy dose of humility.
