I was watching Channel 11 news this morning, and they were showing about Black Friday sales at Walmart. These shoppers were pushing and shoving each other in a very vicious way to get to an item that was on sale. And I thought to myself if these people would fight over a sales item, what if there was a true disaster and people would have to fight for survival. What if one of those TV movies that show humanity in the future were to really come true. According to what I saw on Channel 11 news, there will be fighting and killing all around us.
But what really confuses me about human nature is this. When hurricane Sandy hit the jersey/ New York area, people were helping their neighbors. People were risking their own lives trying to save others. We humans are very hard creatures to understand. Some fight and claw to get a sales item, not caring who they hurt in their endeavor to save a few dollars. While the same ones, would risk their own lives trying to save someone in a disaster. As I say again, human nature just confuses me.
I think any of us could say, all but for the grace of God go I. I guess it's the circumstances that we put ourselves in, or we fall into. And I guess too, it's the state of mind that we are in at any given moment as to how we act. I know myself, all in all I'm a pleasant enough person. But hit me wrong when I'm having a bad day, and my pleasant personality can flip from nice to nasty. And when it does I always feel so embarrassed and so guilty. So, like I said, I guess it's the state of mind that we're in at any given moment.
And you know too, if we would keep Christ on our minds more, just maybe we would be nicer people more often. But still, fighting over sales items. Hurting other people to save a few dollars, is just beyond my understanding.

Romans Ro 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

Romans 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

Romans 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

I guess God does understand humanity. Thats why Christ came. huh, To save us from ourselves.
Until next time, Willard and I wish you health and happiness, God bless and God save.
