Have you ever heard about how Douglas Corrigan got his nick name? “Wrong Way” Corrigan. He acquired this nick name in 1938, when he took in his plane from Brooklyn, New York, flight to Long Beach, California.
After his about 24 hours flight, he touched down in Dublin, Ireland. Then he asked officials in airport, “Is this Los Angeles?” Spontaniously people laughed at his “miscalculation” for years. But then finally, he admitted that his trip across the Atlantic had been planned in 1963. After he’s unable to get clearance to fly across the ocean, he went ahead and made the flight on purpose.
It could be happened to our spiritual life. When we go the wrong way and found bed resutl as a consequency of our mistake, we immediately said “it’s an accident”. Then tried to blame somebody or something.
When Satan is temping us, there is still time to choice. Our decision is not an accident. It sometimes, is a choice we make to go against the moral law of God. We make anything becomes worse when we convince ourselves it was an accident. Gradually, it affected to become to habit. Finally, when we choose to disobey God, we always treat it as an accident.
Why do we look for someone or something to blame for our shortcomings? Because we are not willing to accept responsibility for our wrong choice. Blaming for someone or something is very easy and there are so many way to do that.
We sometimes deliberately choose to break the moral law of God. We go the wrong way on purpose then we insist, it was an accident.
Sin is a choice, not an accident. It’s about the struggle between the flesh and the indwelling Spirit. Sin principle work strongly in our lives. The struggle leaves us with a choice – either submit God’s law, or satisfy our sinful desires.
