My brother-in-law and I each own a Toyota that is a few years apart in age. Recently, we were standing where we could observe the rear of both cars. I asked him, “How come your tailgate has a little black button next to the latch that mine doesn’t have?” He replied that he didn’t know, so I proceeded to push the button. It made a clicking noise and nothing happened. After that, the back hatch wouldn’t open, even after we tried a few things. To say the least, I was embarrassed, and he wouldn’t let on as to what he thought of my nearsighted curiosity.
After some time, the owner’s manual ended up in my wife’s hands. (She is forever pulling me out of the holes I dig.) She found out that the window in his vehicle’s back hatch could be lifted open. When that button is depressed, it releases the lift-up glass hatch and the liftgate won’t go up. Another save by the feminine part of our marriage.
Application: Don’t touch anything that you don’t understand or shouldn’t be your concern, especially when it is owned by someone else. Another great asset in my life is the fact that my brother-in-law is very forgiving.
Luke 23:34
Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Give it some thought.
