Think About It

I don’t know if the show is as popular these days as it was in years gone by but a lot of us know the story of Pinocchio.  If you aren’t familiar with the tale of the puppet who became a boy, I am sure you can tune into Disney+ account and watch the show.  In all honesty, I have never been a big fan of the show and can’t tell you too many of the details about it, but one character I do know is Jiminy Cricket.  One of the roles that this insect plays in the story is to remind the boy to let his conscience be his guide.  In essence, when the new kid faced a challenge, he could rely on his knowledge of good and evil to guide him.  (And since it was a Disney movie from a while ago, the implication was for Pinocchio to choose good.)   Wouldn’t it be good to have a cricket as our moral leader and guide – someone who could help us know the good we should do and encourage us to do it?  Interestingly, we have something (or Someone) much better than insect.  As Christians we have the Holy Spirit
