A Lizard’s Tail

by Bruce Wadd

Recently, a second cat arrived in our household, bringing both the pleasure and pain of a young, untrained feline. 

One of my greatest joys is watching this youngster play with almost anything that comes into its vision.  A simple leaf, a piece of paper, a string of cotton, a curtain swaying in the breeze – all hold a degree of fascination and excitement!

Last evening the excitement hit a new level.  Walking in through the front door I noticed the cat absorbed by something moving around on the floor. Upon investigation I realized this writhing object was a lizard’s tail.  And so for the next fifteen minutes the cat never once let that tail move without giving it some degree of attention.

Sin often holds that same fascination.  At the cross Jesus’ awesome sacrifice took away sin forever, but like the tail, the remnants are still making their final moves, despite being defeated.

How is your fascination level this morning?  God has broken the power of sin in your life – that is fact!!  Have you accepted this reality?

Just remember…

“There is now therefore no condemnation
to those who are in Christ Jesus” Romans 8:1

TODAY, ignore all those lizard tails!
