EASILY SWAYED

Psalm 119:18 - "Open my eyes, that I may behold Wonderful things from Your law."

An Army psychology student drew kitchen detail and decided to apply some of his studies and theories to his work. He was stationed at the end of the chow line, assigned to hand out apricots.

Apricots were not exactly a favorite among soldiers. He asked the first soldiers that passed by, "You dont want any apricots, do you?" He calculated that 90% responded with "No."

He then tried a different angle. The next shift of soldiers were asked "You do want apricots, don't you?" Approximately half answered, "Yes, I guess so."

Finally he tried an old selling technique. This third time he asked, "One dish of apricots or two?" In spite of the universal dislike for Army apricots, 40% took two dishes and 50% took one!

People of allwalks of life - even Christians - can be easily swayed by smooth talking. We need to place our priorities to heed the Truth on Gods Word.
