LETTING OTHERS DO OUR THINKING
Buzzards—more correctly, vultures—are scavengers. They search high and low (pun intended) for the dead and the dying and would as soon eat a skunk as a rabbit. They don’t carry morsels back to their young, but (in non-scientific terms) puke food up for the young.
This reminds me of some Christians. Not the babes in Christ, mind you, because they have an insatiable appetite for the milk of the word (1 Peter 2:2). Instead many hazy, lazy thinkers are content to get their food from scavengers who never search the Scriptures, laboring over them in prayer and meditation, but who light on the latest carcass to which their champion leads them. Now remember, they don’t bring back even morsels of flesh, but predigested putrid flesh, which they puke into the open mouths of those content to let others do their thinking for them.
I don’t want to do your thinking for you; I do want to empower and provoke you to think.
