Kill The Snake!
"Get rid of the foreign gods you have
with you, and purify yourselves and
change your clothes."
Genesis 35: 2
One day last summer, the homes and businesses of Denton,
North Carolina, suddenly went dark. Utility officials traced the
blackout to a fire in a substation, and they quickly saw the
problem. A snake got into the equipment, sparking the fire.
When we allow the devil to slither into some
habit in our lives, it causes a loss of spiritual
power.
When we make excuses for stepping away from the truths
and standards God has set for us, we open ourselves up
to
sin and the accompanying guilt that comes with
it.
The best way of dealing with snakes is to get rid of them.
Ephesians 4:31 says, “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and
anger, brawling and slander” (NIV).
Colossians 3:8 says, “But now you must also rid yourselves of
all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy
language”. James 1:21 says, “Therefore, get rid of all moral
filth
and the evil that is so prevalent”. Get rid of that snake!
"Do not be deceived; happiness and
enjoyment do not lie in wicked ways."
Isaac Watts
