A school teacher lost her life savings in a business scheme that had been elaborately explained by a swindler. When her investment disappeared and her dream was shattered, she went to the Better Business Bureau.

"Why on earth didn't you come to us first?" the official asked. "Didn't you know about the Better Business Bureau?"

"Oh, yes," said the lady sadly. "I've always known about you. But I didn't come, because I was afraid you'd tell me not to do it."

The folly of human nature is that even though we know where the answers lie God's Word, we don't turn there for fear of what the scriptures will say.
