Do Not Gather Fire
Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? Proverbs 6:27
Have I not said you should pray much that you might not enter into temptation?
I desire always to help, but many pray too late; for by their own careless actions they have placed their feet in a slippery path, and the results are almost inevitable.
Do not gather fire into your garments and pray not to be burned, nor take up a serpent and ask for protection. Give the devil wide berth, and spare the soul much unnecessary anguish.
What are we doing that could be sin opening a door and getting a hold on our life? I think of how alcoholics will tell that they were an alcoholic from the first drink they took. They opened a door, and could never keep it closed after that, but there are many other doors that could do the same, viewing something on computer, or tv, reading something, saying something, the possibilities are endless. There is a verse that tells us to avoid the presence of evil. What is something that God would have you to aviod?
Yesterday we started testing at school. I read a test to a student. Had some dialogue with a coupld of teachers, after school did more preparation for hunters. and dug some Iris roots, it is rather chilly here, so I brought in some of the flower pots and did some rearranging in the pots.
