Everyone has asked that question about others, sometimes about ourselves.  Why did you do that?  What were you thinking?  Did your brain go out to lunch?  What ever the action, words,  or thoughts, the question has been asked?

 

Even Paul asked that question of the Galatians.  Why did you do that?  The that in this case was accepting a false teaching, instead of staying with the Good News of Jesus.  He could not understand.  It would be like walking away from gold to accept mud.  No one in their right mind would do that …………. right?

 

May times, we do just that.  Why?  I believe that we simply lose focus of what is really important.  We stop looking at Jesus.  We stop looking at what He has done for us.  Then…………..BOOM………………we did what we believed we would never do.

 

Today, stay focused on Jesus and His teachings.  Watch for the leading of the Holy Spirit.  Listen for the still quiet voice of God.  Then that question will be asked less often.
