A little watermelon wisdom for you today. I use this test often to find the source of my suffering, and make sure it’s genuine or useful.

“He who takes on a duty which is not asked of them, is an ignoramus!” The rabbis (Midrashic literature).

Why am I wearing watermelons on my feet, Mr Furious asks in the comedy film “Mystery Men” during his training. His master—Mr Mysterious-tells him he had never asked him to wear watermelons on his feet.

Often in life, i think we are wearing watermelons on our feet when God did not ask us to. Let’s make sure our sufferings are actually from Him, and not self inflicted. It’s good to access what problems in our lives are self inflicted not places where we are meeting God in His Sufferings, and being transformed by that encounter. Just a thought about wearing watermelons on your feet, and rabbinical wisdom.

Are we wearing watermelons on our feet, or just going through trials meant to grow us?! Good to discern the difference in life!
