Have you ever done something really dumb? I do something really dumb on a daily basis (I know…that’s not shocking). Have you ever done the same dumb thing repeatedly? I wish I could say I haven’t but I have. In Proverbs 26:11 it says so beautifully “As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly.” In the movie Despicable Me 3, the main character, Gru, has long left his old life of being an evil villain but he is tempted to return to his old life that he had been called to leave behind. I think if we are honest we can all relate to Gru because if we know Jesus we have been called to leave behind an old life for a new one but we are still tempted to go back to the old life, to return to our vomit.
When temptation tells you to turn back, turn to God. He will never leave you or forsake you. He loves you and desires to see you new and whole. So, let us not return to our “vomit”, instead let us turn and run toward Him with all we have.
