Proverbs 26:27
Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him.
I didn't think they had much in common. Really would you ever put Zorro and the book of Proverbs together? Perhaps a little context is in order.
Last night we watch the new swashbuckling adventure The Legend of Zorro. Boy was it a hit! Sword fights, bullwhips, wildhoirse chases --- totally full of high adventure and excitment. You could feel the tension building as we neared the end of the movie and Zorro finally began serving up a much need dose of his own medicine to the antagonist. We get right to the end and just as the bad guy is flung to his fiery doom I hear Lydia lean over and say almost smugly to Megan and Natalie
"See he fell into his own pit!"
"Yeah:" they agree knowingly "he DID fall into his own pit"
These are the moments that make it all worthwhile.
