Bat Habits!
"But now you must also rid
yourselves of all
such things as these: anger, rage, malice,
slander, and filthy language from your lips."
Colossians 3: 8
A zoo in Germany has a bat cave through which visitors
walk. That is what Elina Öfele did with her son. So when
she returned home, Elina found a bat in her
clothing. Zoo
officials were able to return the creature to its cave while
Elina calmed her nerves.
As we walk through this dark world, the sins lurking
around us try to stow away in our hearts and minds.
We develop bad habits without realizing it at
first.
Fatigue can increase our irritability. A few clicks on the
computer can poison our minds. A busy schedule can
disrupt church habits. A slip of the tongue can damage
your testimony.
Recognizing sin is the prelude to grace. Are
any
“bat habits” stowing away in your life? Confess
them and ask for God’s help in forsaking them.
God specializes in helping us overcome
temptations. If you need to make changes
in your life, start today.
"Let us stop the progress of sin in our
soul
at the first stage, for the further it goes the
faster it will increase."
Thomas
Fuller
