Bees....

Today I stepped out of my garage and slammed the door behind me ~ instantly I was swarmed by bees. 

They immediately began stinging me on my left and all over my abdomen.

This caused me to revert into my alter ego ~ Jedi Ninja Master ~ and began flailing my arms like a wild man. 

Halfway to the house, I realized there was a “flock” of bees still stuck to the front of my shirt stinging my belly. 

Needless to say, I lived, but it definitely set the tone for the rest of Thursday. 

I grabbed a can of W.M.D. (Weapons of mass destruction) and headed back to the garage ready for battle. 

The bees built a nest right on the top of the door frame. 

Duh….

Exactly how did they think this was going to turn out????

So I sprayed them and sprayed them and sprayed them….

Until the wind shifted and blew all the over spray back on me. 

As I said, the bees set the tone for the rest of Thursday.

I know you are patiently waiting for me to get to a “spiritual application” for this death defying story but….

Honestly, if there is a “spiritual application”…. It hasn’t hit me yet. 

Lets try, Deuteronomy 1:44 NLT….

“But the Amorites who lived there came out against you like a swarm of bees. They chased and battered you all the way from Seir to Hormah.”

Hummmmmm …. Not much there….

Psalm 118:12 NLT….

“They swarmed around me like bees;
    they blazed against me like a crackling fire.
    But I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord.”

There…. I like the sounds of that one….
