Hello ,
Several years after inventing radar, Sir Robert Watson-Watt was arrested in Canada for speeding. He'd been caught in a radar trap. He wrote this poem:
Pity Sir Robert Watson-Watt,
strange target of his radar plot,
and this, with others I could mention,
a victim of his own invention.
I couldn't help but chuckle when I read that little poem. It so aptly describes the human condition for so many people. We are often victims of our own devises, and then we try to find a way to blame someone else for the struggles that we're having...in some cases, we try to blame God.
God knows that we can often be our own worst enemies, but He still loves us, and wants to help us move past the struggles (even those of our own making,) and give us the strength, courage, and motivation to take His hand and become conquerors through His grace and mercy.
Have a great day and God bless!
