THE TEST
During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criterion was which defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.
“Well,” replied the Director, “We fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.”
“Oh, I understand,” said the visitor. “A normal person would use the bucket because it’s bigger than the spoon or the teacup.”
How did that slip by you? I got your focus upon the three options rather than the simple solution. Satan desires to confuse us by setting too many options before us. God’s word only gives us one: obedience. Trust and obey, for there’s no other way, to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
“No,” said the Director, “A normal person would pull the plug. Would you like a bed by a window?”
