On Monday, August 11th, 2014, America lost one of its icons in Hollywood. Whether it was playing Mrs. Doubtfire, Mr. Keating in Dead Poets Society or a psychologist in Good Will Hunting, Robin Williams was a star brighter than life. However, deep inside his soul, riches, fame and fortune couldn’t replace a heart of depression that only Christ can fill. Subsequently, this talented actor took his own life, unable to leave in the haste sinful thoughts.
Moses makes an interesting observation in Psalm 90:8-9. Apparently, God uses supernatural measures to bring secret sins into the light. Whether you’re a leader of a nation like Moses, head of your household or superstar such as Robin Williams, the truth about your bad habits, flaws and weaknesses will rise to the surface. Don’t wait to be found out, Psalm 90:9. Rather, leave your sinful desires in haste, James 4:7 or groans of regret will keep you in the dark on the verge of death.
I won’t speculate on why Robin Williams committed suicide, but I do know countless individuals have moments where death is entertained as a viable option. Unfortunately, sin has a way of corrupting one’s mind, polluting a person’s rationale thinking. If you stay in this mental state too late, the pawns of the Devil will steal any joy that remains, kill hope and make self-destruction seem like a good idea. Fight back these urges now, leave in haste or you too might become deceased.
