It seems too often that we bite off more than we can chew. Even worse, there are the times when we're the ones being bitten.
Such was the case with a fisherman in Russia who was showing off his catch to his fishing buddies. Pretending to kiss the fish, the pike bit the man's nose and refused to let go. The man's friends tugged to no avail until they decided to cut the fish's body from it's head. However, it took several hours for doctors at a nearby hospital to open the jaws of the pike to free the fisherman's bloody nose.
We can learn from this. Those who choose to follow their own will soon discover they have bitten off more than they chew. Hopefully, they'll turn to the Lord before it's too late. Godliness means taking God seriously. All too often we walk down paths we know are not the way of the Lord. We make light of what we should weep about.
Let's take on the stamp of God. People will take notice. Otherwise we might go around with a bloody nose!
