What is the meaning of the saying ,'a white elephant', it speaks of something that is expensive,that causes a lot of money to look after.I think I read somewhere how a Maharaja would give someone a present of a white elephant,it wasn't a kind act,no he meant to punish the person, by making him poor because of the upkeep of the creature.Today I praise God we have got rid of a white elephant,my wifes car,it was a lovely car for the first two years she had it, but then things started to go wrong,and it was costing us more and more money,yes it was a white elephant.But today we got rid of the beast, and I thank God,and in its place my wife has another nice car .I used to say to my dear wife don't fall in love with any car, for it may turn ino a white elephant.There are many things one could class as a white elephant,what is your white elephant?. There is an enemy called Satan, remember what he said to our dear Saviour ,when he showed our Him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendour,he said that he would give him all that if He would bow down and worship him,but of course He didn't.If we yield to Satans temptations we will soon find there is a price to pay,that can cost one ,their very soul,remember the love of our white elephant,can have dire consequences,but Jesus can set you free,turn to Him if we forsake our white elephant.
