Beware the Master
By GARY TOOLE
On this sign it read, "Don't worry about the dog! Beware of the master!"

Well, well! Now that is true in many cases. You see, I learned at an early age that it is the master of the dog that you don't trust. A lady told me to come right on in through the yard gate. Her dog was making an awful fuss. Dogs don't like me anyway. So, I trusted her and took her at her word and in I went and there he came.

She said, "Gary, son, he won't bite anything other than a biscuit." He had not said anything other than growl and show those sharp teeth. Apparently I either looked like a biscuit or smelled like one, because he bit me just as sure as my name is what it is. He came after me and I did the square dance, the jitterbug, the Charleston, the twist, some rock and roll, and the two-step trying to bypass that bite that was coming that she said would never happen.

He bit me good and I picked me up a brick and told her politely that if she didn't get that wild dog then I was going to rightly and slightly bust his brains out on that ground. Loving a dog and treating him right is one thing and it goes both ways. I don't have murder in my heart but if you bite me then I'm gonna' hurt you. Plain and simple! Precise and to the point!

A lot of folks serve a master that you can't trust. That is satan. You can't trust him as far as you can throw me and I'm heavy on my feet now. He is a big fat liar and the truth ain't in him. Bur there is one sweet loving, kind and true master that you can trust and that is the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He won't lead you wrong.

The devil will tell you like that lady did me, "Oh, he won't bite!" The devil is so deceptive. "Oh, it won't hurt! Just a little won't hurt." Until he's got your leg, then your arm, then your whole body, and then your precious, priceless soul.

You can trust the Lord with all your heart and He will direct your paths in the right way that you should go. Can you say amen?
