"WHY DID I DO THAT?"
I've always wanted a Skilsaw, one like I saw my father using
when I was growing up. But, there were always things more urgently
needed until one day a significant portion of our backyard fence
blew over during a storm. I decided to use the occasion as an
excuse for purchasing a saw like my dad's. So, on a cold, windy
day, after getting everything set up, I was ready to make my first
cut with the new saw. My first pass went smoothly through the wood
but was followed by an alarming spark and sudden loss of power. I
had cut through the cord on my follow-through. What a sinking
feeling! So much for a new saw! I don't think stores will take back
saws for such a blunder. But, surviving the incident is some black
electrical tape reminding me to take a second look at the cord
before making a cut.
Sometimes, life's most haunting question is: "Why did I do
that?" Have you ever asked yourself that question? If so, then you
can probably tell your own exasperating story of an untimely
mistake or ill-conceived action. "Why did they do that?" is a
question frequently asked by viewers of those who appear on
"America's Funniest Home Videos." We enjoy laughing at the
misadventures and mishaps of those who seem to have forgotten to
think before acting.
While the thoughtless mishaps of life are often inconvenient or
outright painful, the consequences of living without thought of the
next life will be infinitely worse. This is why the Scriptures
encourage sober-mindedness. Once a term related to the use of
alcohol, the New Testament adapts the word to describe a state of
awareness--awareness of present dangers from our enemy (1 Pet.
5:8), aware-ness of present responsibilities (1 Pet. 4:7-8), and
awareness of future judgment with its accompanying glory (1 Pet.
1:13) or unending doom (Matt. 24:42, 44).
The apostle Paul reminds us that "we must all appear before the
judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for
his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good
or bad" (2 Cor. 5:10). Perhaps, the most painful aspect of hell,
closely associated with its unending pain and separation from God,
will be its eternal regret--looking back on a life of unbelief and
disobedi-ence asking, "Why did I do that?" Don't let this happen to
you!
