Following one's own advice


The other day my girlfriend and I were talking about kitchen accidents, and I shared the story about cooking bacon with no shirt on. Needless to say it was not a good experience. Well this morning before church I got the great idea that I wanted to eat bacon after my morning walk. Well I was also in the middle of getting ready for church. I did get a shirt yet. So I did not learn from my past experience with shirtless bacon. This time with a very small kitchen I didn't have anywhere to hide. Sometimes I question myself concerning my sense.

Proverbs 26:11
As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly

2 Corin 7:10 10For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.

I maybe been rather foolish in my culinary adventure this morning but also my grief was that of the world. It hurt me but not a spiritual concern just one of the world like a cut knee or a bloody nose.

If my sin causes the same reaction as bacon burns then I am in trouble.
