Viruses

Recently, we found a virus on one of our family computers and it got me thinking. Viruses get "injected" onto our computers often going under the radar of our virus protection software which is supposed to protect and guard our computer. Once there, these viruses cause damage without us even knowing they are there. If we are lucky we catch it before the damage is too great, but sometimes the damage is irreversible.

It's the same with thoughts and behaviors we have in our life that don't please God. They often fly in under our radar. Events, thoughts or behaviors come into our lives and sometimes slip in under our "guard". If we don't recognize these for what they are, they can cause much damage before we even realize it.

Moral? Make sure your virus protection is up to date and running both on your computer and especially  in your life. Search your mind and actions for things that may not be pleasing to the LORD.

Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 1:13 NASB)
