20-Mar-12: 1 Corinthians 10:6-13
6 Now these things occurred as examples for us, so that we might not desire evil as they did. 7 Do not become idolaters as some of them did; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and they rose up to play.” 8 We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day. 9 We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did, and were destroyed by serpents. 10 And do not complain as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer. 11 These things happened to them to serve as an example, and they were written down to instruct us, on whom the ends of the ages have come. 12 So if you think you are standing, watch out that you do not fall. 13 No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it.
“……and are you SURE we have enough strength to stay together?”
“We tromp along, we stomp along, we flap along, we slap along”
sang the friends as they set off under the shadows of Old Crow and Ugly Bird.
“Weesie, beesie, keep up steady, be ever ready,”whistled Bluesey Fly in song.
So did the ever-more bonded and binded critterfolk creep ever up with Babe’s word.
“Ohsie,oopsie, we getsies weaksies! We starts to pull away from each other!”
So cried the friends up to Old Crow in query of worry, in wrinkely crinkles of doubt.
“Stop! Halt! Breathe! Hold out one hand! Look up, look higher than thy brother!”
So did friends find a glow warming them back together, in bonds of such great klout!
