"Many years ago, while on a visit to America, a wealthy businessman was fascinated by a powerful microscope. Looking through its lens to study crystals and flower petals, he was amazed at their beauty and detail. So he decided to purchase one of these instruments of marvels and take it back to his country.
"He thoroughly enjoyed using it until one day he examined a few grains of rice he was planning to eat for dinner. Much to his dismay, he discovered that tiny living creatures were crawling on the grains. Since he was especially fond of this staple food in his daily diet, he wondered what to do. Finally, he concluded that there was only one way out of this dilemma - he would destroy the instrument that caused him to discover this distasteful fact! So he smashed the microscope to pieces.
"'How foolish!' you say, 'those little critters are still there even if he chooses not to see them.' But how many people do the same thing with the Word of God? They try to rid themselves of it because it reveals their sinful nature." - Source Unknown; shared in "Apple Seeds," May 2020
