Insects

Insects

Today, as I was walking, I had an unpleasant insect land on me. I flicked it off and shuddered, and kept walking. Then, two butterflies flew past me. The bees and the butterflies, the dragonflies and the lady bugs. Such insects are why I don’t spray pesticides. Though the mosquitoes and black flies are a constant problem and make me regret my choice some days.
In this tiny way, I understand a little more about God when He he is speaking with His men of Faith in the Bible and saying, “For your sake I do not.” For the sake of the Righteous God did not destroy humanity (a second time) for the sake of His people He stayed His hand. Then, for the sake of those He loved (us), He sent His Son to die so we could be saved.
In saving the butterflies, I am also sparing the mosquitoes. But unlike mosquitoes, when God, in sparing the Righteous, spares the sinners as well, He is also giving them another chance to change. A mosquito will always be what it is, but when God’s people pray for God to spare the country or town they live in despite it’s evil, God is also giving the evil a chance to change and to find Him. He wants all people to turn to Him and will give them chances again and again and again. That’s love.
