Recently as I experiment with an I-Pad ap called Pandora I have come across a scattering of recording artists who have done “Blowing in the Wind”. I have always enjoyed the music as long as I don’t pay too much attention to the words. It is a cute anti-war song. I am against war. Any sane person is against war. That is not my focus today. What came to my mind in relation to this verse were the concluding words to each verse, “When will they ever learn?”
One of the sad truths about life is that most people will never learn. That is the reason that all of the government sponsored gambling schemes keep raising millions. It is why tele-marketers keep coming back. It is why some products are still being sold in the dollar stores. It is the inspiration for that quote “Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and expecting different results.” People do not learn.
So? Life will be full of heavy things and foolish people. We need to keep calling on God to get through all of the headwinds we run into. That is why the apostle Paul tells us,
(1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV) There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
