Reflection for November 22, 2014

"Let those who say, Aha, Aha! turn back because their shame."(Psalm 70:3)

Have you ever felt like you fell into a trap. Or somehow had your words twisted around in such a way that you wound up contradicting yourself, or admitting to something you hadn't actually done.  And inevitably there seems to be someone there to point out your miscue.  And they seem to gloat as you stand confused or perhaps even embarrassed.

The fact that there are folks who take glee in the mistakes of others is truly sad.  That there are even people who deliberately set others up is also reprehensible.  I know I'm turned off by folks with their aha's and gotcha.  Really?  That's what makes you feel powerful or superior?  Please.

That we might hope that they would just go away feeling ashamed by their actions is something to hope for.  Regrettably unless someone stands up to them.  Calls them on their non sense.  The aha's will have it.

Blessings,
Ed
