THE PARALYSIS OF ANALYSIS
Sometimes it feels easier to remain detached than to
jump in and become involved. Quite
often, such passive behavior proves to be disastrous or deadly. Kitty Genovese was a young woman who was brutally
murdered in a New York residential section while at least 38 neighbors watched
from their windows. During the course of
her tragic 30-minute assault, no one even telephoned the police. Follow-up investigation revealed some
surprising facts about all those eyewitnesses. It turned out that they were not totally
indifferent as some had suspected. The
main reason nobody did anything was that every person thought that someone else
would take the initiative and get help.
How does that familiar security slogan go? “If you see something, say something.” All too often we remain passive or reluctant
to intervene when family or friends are in dire need of helping hands. Reminder: God is a Spirit, so technically
speaking, His hands and feet are OURS. My
friend, use wisdom, but never succumb to the paralysis of analysis. You can and should do something.
Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and
please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING.
Maranatha!
