2 Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
As we’ve been traveling around the U.S., we’ve been trying to take extra care of ourselves, taking vitamins and washing our hands regularly to avoid getting sick.
This got me thinking about God’s design of the human immune system. Our immune system is designed to be proactive, not passive. Whenever germs, viruses, or bacteria invade our bodies, our immune system seeks to destroy them before they become a problem.
Spiritually speaking, I think we can learn a little something from God’s amazing design. When it comes to our thought life, we, too, need to become proactive and destroy sin before it establishes a foothold. We’ll never have to tear down a stronghold if we don’t allow one. When that invading temptation comes, attack it immediately before it infects us completely!
Let’s be sure to boost our spiritual immune system today by taking some time in fellowship with the Lord, in His Word, and in Prayer. When those “invaders” try to enter, we’ll be armed and ready to obliterate them before they hinder our walk!
