I haven't done a Lent post for a while. I'm in 1 Kings and read an interesting story today, about a prophet who is sent to speak out against idol sacrificing. Anyhow, the king invites him to come and eat with him (God had told this man specifically to go back a different way and not eat or drink) so he resisted and did as God commanded. As he is on his journey another prophet comes to him, asking the same thing, except this man says God told him to do this. So the man of God goes. He ends up being killed by a lion because of it.
Makes me think about Christians- we have these standards, theologies that we hold to, which seem quite easy to hold against the world, for they are so dramatically opposed to God. Fellow Christians, on the other hand, can dissuade us from our standards perhaps more easily- strange and sad thing, isn't it?
