Going Bald?

-Daily Bread-
Judges 16:6-20


Barney had always been proud of his thick, wavy hair. But then he began to lose it. Finally just one lone hair remained on top of his shiny dome. One morning Barney awkoe, looked at his pillow, and was shocked to see that last hair lying there. Jumping to see that last hair lying there. Jumping out of bed, he ran downstairs crying, "Martha, Martha, I am bald!"


That reminds me of the Christian who begins dabbling in the things of the world. He gets deeper and deeper in sin, slowly sliding away from the Lord, without even knowing what is happening. It is not until he has had some startling experience -perhaps due to God's discipline -that he sees his true condition. When suddenly brought under the powerful search light of the Word of God, the deceived one is shocked to realize how subtly and deceitfully Satan has stripped away his spiritual power and discernment.


TV, movie, and home video habits reveal how far some people have slipped. Suggestive words and immoral themes, once considered offensive, are tolerate as acceptable entertainment.


To avoid the kind of shock that Barney experienced, it's important to examine ourselves daily. Say, are you going  bald spiritually?

O Lord, help us to recognize

When we begin to compromise, 

and give us strength to follow through

With what we know is right and true

Sper

Most often, falling into sin is not a blowout but a slow leak. 

-----------------------------------------------------------

this is a good devotional reading...

most often we don't know that we are falling apart, and think that we are doing "fine"

especially now in the dark age, the world is falling into darkness where most of us don't realize it...

now is the time to check our spiritual life and

never think that we are ok...

as the passage said  examine yourself daily....

Luke 9:23"then He said to them all " If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me."
