Cartoonology Devotional 02-01-10
Cartoonology. There is great theology in cartoons and comics.
We had some pretty good places to go snow sledding when I was a child. I can remember a lot of things we experienced such as sledding underneath the Hudson's milk cow, using the hood off of an old car as a sled, making my own sled from sawmill lumber (I wish I still had it), an old tractor trailer tire blowing up on the bonfire because it was still on the rim, going downhill with three kids stacked up on one sled and breaking my nose after crashing into a tree.
As for the nose, no doctor ever told me it was broken, but I believe it was. One reason is because, to this day, I have a crooked nose. Those were the days when you didn't go to the doctor for every little thing. It was too much trouble, too far to go and too expensive. Besides, Mom had a cure for just about everything.
Sin can be a lot like sledding. It seems like fun until you get into the middle of it, or until you suffer the consequences of your foolish decisions. Like a sled, sin has a way of escalating. You can find yourself going downhill head-over-heels before you know it, and you can end up in a pretty bad crash.
God has a cure for that, as well. As our Heavenly Father, He can come to the rescue and save us from peril. As for us, we need to admit our sin, repent of it and ask Him to forgive us.
Isaiah 1:18 (NKJV)
18 "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the Lord, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. 02-01-10
