SMOKING ZONE

Every morning on my way to work i pass through one of the parks in the heart of the city.Many of us love the "shortcut " for blatant reasons.But one palpable reason is the less time we use getting to the other side.Normally, if i were to go round the park, it probably would take me about 10-13 minutes but via the park 5 minutes am out.I have trained my mind that i have to use the short cut to save time even when am not in any kind of rush.But in the park is this corner well maintained and you will always find people (mainly men),even in the wee hours of the morning,its called the 'Smoking Zone'.For the past twenty four years of my life,i have never ever smoked cigarettes nor any other drug,thank God for that,but just yesterday i remembered something my Science teacher taught ,'Passive Smoking' where you don't have to be the one holding the cigar yet you are susceptible to the same effects with the guy holding it.Look,all of us love that shorter and simpler way when we need not strain we can do anything,pay anyone to get our deals done quicker and faster . Is it it wrong? Is it right? Well, the choice answer lies in the transparency and limpidity of the deal that you are cutting.All the same do we not know when we are doing wrong or right?

Until this morning i discovered i have been a 'passive smoker' just because i loved the shorter route, with no qualms about it and ignorant of the dangers i exposed myself  to as the active smokers.Ten to one,you have read or at least heard the parable of the 'Wise and the Foolish Builders' in Mathew 7:24. Two words come out very strong ,Hear and put to. I had heard the wise words of my teacher but had not put to practice the instruction she gave just like the foolish builder trivialized the power of building under a strong and firm foundation.As i walk past the zone i see people who look all together yet science proves on the inside they have rotting lungs and messed up diaphragm.Many time that short route will cause us to seem like we got there faster,and made it,yet the truth is diametrically different.
The bible tells us when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death we shall fear nor evil,note,its a shadow of not the actual monster called death,and the fact that we are assured we shall,its an indicator that God will sail us through safe.So,take the longer route and get there safe,the enemy has laid a trap called the'Smoking Zone' in that short faster route which looks a like a savior.



Hear and Put His(Gods') word to practice

With love
