Virus

Now before you get concerned-no, I don't have one. But my computer does! And it is not one of those that is called by a sweet name-like "Melissa." This one is called "Trojan." You have heard of them. The name itself sounds big and deadly! Massive! And I don't have one, oh no. When I have something, I got it bad. I have three! As I told a friend of mine, I have a "Trojan war" at my house! They are all trying to take down my computer!! Ugh. And fixing the problem is taking days...

So you see where I am going with this? What "viruses" do you let sneak in on you? What do you allow in your life to pass your "firewall?" Do you say to yourself, "oh ,but it really doesn't matter, it isn't that big of a deal." And before you know it, your virus has blown into a full all out war. You don't know how it got there? How did it grow so big? Little by little they build.

And now you have to "fix" it. Will it take days, months or years? And do you try to "fix" it on your own, or do you turn to Him? Wouldn't it have been easier to "install" His security before the virus has a chance to take hold? To block it with His Word?

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Proverbs 4:23
