DESTRUCTION FROM WITHIN
The crash of the giant redwood tree was heard for miles around. But the question lingered, “What had toppled this enormous tree? No blade had touched its trunk, no fire had devastated the forest, no explosion had occurred. So what had happened. Upon examination, it was learned that the giant tree had been destroyed from within by tiny beetles. Silently and in secret, thousands of tiny little beetles continued to eat away at the very heart of the tree. The signs of this internal decay went unnoticed until the crash took place, and the tree was ruined. So often is the case in the destruction of a Christian’s testimony, that the crash results from a slow leak instead of a blow out–from internal decay instead of an external force.
