A rose by any other name would look as beautiful and as Shakespeare would tell us smell as sweet. They are wonderful, and a garden full of roses is a pure delight – But they have one hidden danger. I’m sure you will all know to what I refer – Yes they have thorns.
Job lived a perfect life, but like the rose, his life had a massive thorn. David in his Psalm says he too has lead a blameless life. But is it so? Only God knows. It is not only a perfect life that interests God. Do we, like Job, place our trust in God? God does not promise us a life without thorns, but the wages of a life well lived where we place our trust in God is eternal life.
