There is Always a Better Alternative (God's Way)

John 8:1-11

Inspired thots:

I am sure many today would have asked, 'what did Jesus write on the ground with his finger?'
Was He just doodling while waiting for the self-righteous to come to their senses?
or,
Was He writing 'Judgment' as in the case of king Belshazzar in Daniel 5:25?
'Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin'

To me, it is just a simple form of distraction for self when confronted with a pressing situation;
to make time for self to 'think' or 'be cool' so that no rash judgment or bad action be taken.

Again, God speaks to me with regards to my life situations. There's bound to be regrets when I act rashly; better get a diversion to 'buy time' in order to make better judgments or actions.

Yes, I will learn to wait for God's time ~ the RIGHT time, as Jesus mentioned just in Chapter 7 verse 6. This teaching is really a form of character building ~ testing my patience and submission to God's ways. Help me pass Lord! Help me 'turn the other cheek' for I am not of the world (John 17), thus my thoughts and actions should not be of the world. (Isaiah 55:8,9)

PRAISE THE LORD!
