This eight-grader was bored and balling up a small piece of paper in his hand. No one was looking and he snapped the projectile into the air, aiming at nothing. He watched as it descended into the blouse of a pretty redheaded girl in the next aisle. She turned, looked at him, and both of their faces took on a red glow. Nothing was said, but both were extremely embarrassed.
What’s my point? Glad you asked. Trouble can come your way by being careless and experimenting with things you don’t fully understand. It can embarrass you and others also. I was so ashamed.
Case in point to avoid shame:
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
But the Lord God helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame.
I never did that again and I will never forget it.
Give it some thought.
