COT: Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.1 Corinthians 10:12
Tucker Blakely, 29 years old. Killed in the line of duty. News says Matthew Rose got in a domestic fight with his wife, cops get called, he shoots Officer Blakely, gets killed himself. 5 yr old son left fatherless.
Tragic. Close to home and it should wake us up.
This was no accident. Accident is tripping on the sidewalk or falling at soccer and needing stitches.
There are 2 ditches we can fall in as we process this.
1: It will never happen to me 2: Thinking there is nothing we can do to prevent it… a 3rd would be ignoring it.
Don’t think that you are above accountability, needing some guardrails or that we can go alone.
Speculation, but Matthew didn’t get there overnight – this wasn’t the first fight or outburst.
Don’t think you can just have a pet “socially acceptable” secret sin.
Take heed; know your own brokenness; share that with a Brother
Invite a neighbor to F3, to your church, to your backyard – and love them enough to tell them hard truths.
let yourself feel sad about this but don’t stop there. be a HIM to someone who needs it.
But Jesus doesn’t call us to live in fear of “an accident” He walks with us through temptation
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV
