The Hole Lesson

The Hole Lesson

There once was a man who would walk home after work and he would take a shortcut through a very dark alley.

 

One night he as he walked down the ally he fell into a hole. After calling for help, someone rescued him.

 

The next night on his way home he found the ally blocked. He knew why. Because of the hole. He thought to himself, “that’s good they blocked the street, it is dangerous! But I need to get home, and I know that the hole is there.” So he went down the ally. What he didn’t know was that the hole had gotten a little larger. So, he fell in.  After calling for help, someone came and rescued him.

 

The next night, he saw the signs, and he decided to take another route home.

 

A month later, he said to himself, “surely they would have fixed that hole by now”, and decided to take his old path.

 

The signs were still there, and he couldn’t believe it. “This is ridiculous” he said as he walked past the cones. The hole had gotten a lot bigger, and he immediately fell in and died.

I guess the man never got “the hole lesson”

 

Learn “The Hole Lesson”

Life causes us to walk in a world of darkness, but we are instructed to walk by faith and not by sight.

We are to be guided by His light, and if we walk after His light, we will also become light.

 

The hole represents traps or pitfalls set in our way that we cannot see unless we are walking in the light.

If we continue to fall in eventually it will snuff out the little light that we have.

 

Many of us are saved from the traps, but if we are not careful, will return to it thinking that a different outcome will work out for us, but just as before, the hole is still the hole, and we need to learn from “the hole lesson”.
