JIM CAIN



Good Morning!



“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.” Galatians 6:7



I have a friend who preaches and uses magic tricks in his act, Jim Chester. Years ago, he worked as a magician on a cruise ship. The audience was different each week so he did the same tricks over and over again. The only problem was the captain of the ship had a parrot on board. After a time, the parrot figured out how the tricks were done. Once he knew; he began shouting out in the middle of the show; “That's not the same hat!”  “All the cards are the 2 of spades! The rabbits not gone, it's done with mirrors!” Because the parrot belonged to the Captain, there was nothing the magician could do.  And then the ship sank.



As luck would have it, Jim came to floating on a section of the boat all alone, except for the parrot. As the days went by, they stared at each other with hate in their eyes; but neither said a word.  Finally on the 4th day, the parrot squawked and said, “Okay, I give up, where's the ship?”



Do you ever wake up on Monday morning and feel like the world has played a cruel trick on you, and you don't know how it's done? Well the good news is you aren't alone and God has the solution to all the “tricks” the world may throw at us!
