If you look hard enough, stories of entitlement, greed and pride fill the weekly news cycle. Forgetting history, these individuals act as if they are above the law. Whether its a politician, professional athlete or another scandal within the Internal Revenue Service, the law will always catch up with those trying to outrun it.
This morning, a New England Patriot’s Tight End was charged with first degree murder of his former friend, Odin Lloyd. Fame, money and a rebellious spirit has ruined the once promising career of Aaron Hernandez, released by the Patriot’s 2 hours after today’s arrest. The memories of fallen stars like O.J. Simpson and Rae Carruth did not ring a bell or serve as a wake up call. Until last week, Hernandez acted and behaved as if he was still above the law.
Fortunately, in America, you are innocent until proven guilty, despite what the local press and media claim. Regardless of the outcome, maybe these consequences aired throughout cable news networks today will serve as humble pie to those on the verging on following a similar path. The Bible was meant to be a guide, Psalm 119:105, a blue print, John 10:10, leading people toward a greater life. However, as in the days of Moses, everyone has a choice, Deuteronomy 30:15. Each one you make will either lead you closer to life or beyond the law. Get back on track now, Matthew 7:13-14, while there is still time!
