As I write this, Tiger Woods, undoubtedly the world's highest paid athlete and probably the most famous as well, has just gone public with a statement in which he says that he has let his family down and regrets “transgressions” he has committed. Since his early morning accident over this past weekend, allegations have surfaced that he has had affairs with several women. Now at this point, only Tiger knows the answer to the questions "Who?" and "How many?" and perhaps in time those answers will be revealed by the relentless investigation of the media. All this to say, Tiger's squeaky clean image is now tarnished. And whether his marriage will survive is hard to say at this point.
A verse from Proverbs came to my mind as I thought about Tiger Wood's current situation. In Proverbs 22:1 we read that
"A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold." Tiger has a lot of "silver and gold," but due to his "transgressions" he has lost his good name and probably a lot more! Let's learn from this. Even when we think we have "gotten away" with a sin - we really have not! Our sin will find us out - some how, some way! And when it does ... the good name we have worked at building for so long can be gone in an instant!
Thanks for stopping by . . .
