Have you ever hand an animal, that while you were feeding it, munched on
your fingers? It was completely accidental, sometimes, but other times it is on
purpose. We have the same problem as humans, but instead of having an animal
bite us, it is sin.
We are sinful beings. After Adam and Eve ate the fruit in the garden we have
been sinful by nature. And we feed that sin. It follows us around like a new
puppy and we drop treats for our puppy by giving in to it. We give into sin and
we feed it, and in the end, our little puppy is no longer a puppy.
Now our puppy is a rabid dog and it is coming back to eat us. We play with
it and now it is coming to get us. It is our fault that we fed it. We let it
grow and we nurtured it, but as humans, we like to pass the blame.
We pass it off to anyone, but most of the time it ends up on God. He didn't
do it, but we don't like to take responsibility for our actions so we pass the
blame along. So God gets blamed and even though He got rid of sin by sending
Jesus to die on the cross for us, we kind of negate that fact and blame him
anyway.
So, now we have sin, which we fed and is now out to get us, and we have God,
who gave his son for us to get rid of sin. And what do we chose? Mostly, we
choose sin.
Sin is biting the hand that feeds us but we still continue on feeding and
getting bitten. God will heal and help us but we just pile on the blame. There
is something not right about this picture. We get sick on purpose and then
refuse the antidote.
God wants to help us but first we have to let Him. We have to stop letting
sin bite us and get God to help our hands. After being bitten so much, they
need it.
