"A little boy was visiting his grandparents on their farm. He had a slingshot to play with while he was out in the woods. He practiced in the woods, but he could never seem to hit his target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back home for dinner. As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck.
Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly. Well, what do you know? He actually hit the duck square in the head, and it fell over dead. He was shocked and grieved – and mostly scared of what Grandma would say about her favorite duck.
In a panic, he hid the duck’s dead body in the wood pile, only to see his sister had been watching the whole time! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.
The next day, after lunch, Grandma said, "Sally, let's you and I wash the dishes." But Sally replied, "Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen. Then she whispered to Johnny, "Remember the duck?" So Johnny did the dishes.
Later that same day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said, "I'm sorry but I need Sally to help make supper." Sally just smiled and said," Well that's all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help." She whispered again, "Remember the duck?" So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed home to help!
After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally's... he finally couldn't take it any longer.
So, he came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck. Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug, and said, "Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you.
I was just wondering how long you were planning to let Sally manipulate you like that?"
Does the devil get the best of you? Listen as Pastor Ed speaks about "Greater is He that is in me" on today's podcast.
