Pequenos Lugares
Leitura Bíblica: Tiago 3:1-12
Uma grande floresta pode ser incendiada por uma pequena chama!(v.5).
Há anos, um petroleiro de Hong Kong penetrou uma tempestade tropical, com resultados desastrosos. Quase 250 toneladas de óleo vazaram ao longo de 60 quilômetros da costa leste dda Austrália. E 31 reservatórios de nitrato de amônia arrebentaram e furaram o casco do navio. Uma reportagem da BBC anunciou "especialistas temem que o fertilizante rico em elementos nutritivos poderia causar dano ao desenvolvimento das algas, sufocar peixes e matar habitats naturais". A destruição de um navio sendo arremessado numa tempestade é enorme!
As escrituras advertem contra a destruição que vem de lugares pequenos e negligenciados. Podemos pensar que a ruína surja apenas dos pecados que atraem maior atenção como o adultério, assassinato e injustiça. No entanto, para muitos, as tentações que destroem sugirão de lugares mais sutis. Como diz Tiago, "Sempre cometemos erros" (3:2).
Ele tambem afirma que um pequeno freio na boca dos cavalos fará que eles "...vão aonde queremos"; e gigantescos navios são dirigidos por "...um pequeno leme" (vv3.4). Sua verdadeira preocupação era a língua, (pequeno pedaço de carne na maior parte do tempo invisível) com capacidade de fazer muito bem ou mal. A língua pode ser usada "...tanto para agradecer ao Senhor e Pai como para amaldiçoar as pessoas, que foram criadas parecidas com Deus" (v9).
Sábios pastores e professores da Bíblia nos ensinaram qu epecados gritantes, abomináveis, raramente chegam a esse ponto repentinamente. Comumente, criam raízes após nos entregarmos a padrões de desobediência por longo tempo; abrigando um coração frio para ouvir a voz de Deus. Pretensos "pequenos" pecados nos destroem, sim e também a outros. Ao iniciar o novo ano, cuidemos para nao deixarmos passar as pequenas coisas que nos podem derrotar.
