Devotions from Judy’s heart
Yesterday Al and I were eating our lunch out on the deck and was a beautiful day. But all of a sudden I saw a big black spider crawling on his back and neck. I brushed it off of him and stomped on it. Because we live in a tick infested region, we also have a tick check each night. Even though they are very tiny they cause a great deal of sickness. I know from experience! I thought of how there are things that are detrimental to our spiritual lives that seem very harmless at first, but they can soon bring severe consequences. We need to nip them in bud and not pass it off as nothing. Just like the tick that causes Lyme’s and a trip to the Dr, we need to guard our spirits against those things that cause us spiritual harm. In Prov. 4:23, we are told to: ‘Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” Let us be alert and vigilant to shake off those things that will cause us harm.
