Make new Mistakes

Proverbs 1:5 - A wise man will hear and increase in learning, And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel,

Two pals are sitting in a pub watching the eleven-o'clock news. A report comes on about a man threatening to jump from the 20th floor of a downtown building. One friend turns to the other and says, "I'll bet you ten bucks the guy doesn't jump."

"It's a bet," agrees his buddy.

A few minutes later, the man on the ledge jumps, so the loser hands his pal a $10 bill. "I can't take your money," his friend admits. "I saw him jump earlier on the six-o'clock news."

"Me, too," say the other buddy. "But I didn't think he'd do it again!"

One of the woes of the modern day world is that we are often repeating the same mistakes. We are in this vicious circle of coming back to the same point from where we started. This leads us disappointed and frustrated like anything. Bible Teaches us to be smart enough to pick things on the way to become a better person in the future.

Its interesting to say that, let's not dwell on the past, but lets learn from the past. We should not be just involved in the same mistakes. That simply suggests we are weak and really poor in our understanding and thoughts. But as we grow in the Lord let’s live out of our past by learning from it and become a better person. Make new Mistakes.
