Unfavorable Circumstances.
It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn Your statutes. (Psalm 119:71)
In a Florida training camp during World War II...[the] GIs [had to] run through an obstacle course. On the final stretch...they had to grab a rope and swing across a broad, shallow pool. Under the blazing sun the water looked so inviting to the men that most of them soon developed a habit of making it only halfway across the pond--that is, until an enterprising lieutenant made it the new home for a large alligator. From that day on, the recruits left the ground 15 feet from the water's edge and fell sprawling in the dust on the other side.
Likewise, our behavior as Christians must sometimes be shaped by the "encouragement" of unfavorable circumstances.
