With morning and evening temperatures dropping, we know winter is on its way. With winter, we know, comes the common cold.
There are two ways of avoiding the flu.
Don’t shake hands with people, don’t kiss and, if at all possible, avoid any contact with people. This is probably the best way to avoid getting sick, but it is not practical.
The second way to lessen your chances of getting sick is to build up your own immune system.
Taking extra vitamin C, maybe a flu injection and eat right.
In a similar way we cannot avoid sin. It is everywhere. We live in a broken world.
The best way to avoid the effects of sin is to withdraw from people and make no contact with other human beings.
That’s just not practical. The Bible says, “We are in the world but not of the world”.
The best way to avoid sin, getting a grip on your life, is to build up your spiritual immune system. How can you do that?
Regular Bible reading, prayer and meditation.
“Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength.”
