Conducting a Virus Scan
Not noticing that my computer had become slower, I continued to work as if there was nothing wrong. It was not until it nearly crashed that I discovered that it had a virus.
My computer episode reminded me of the frog story. In case you don´t know the story, it is about a frog that sits in water. Little by little the water becomes warm, then hot. The frog never notices that the water has become so hot, that he eventually dies.
Sin is the same way. It can creep up on us so subtly, that we don´t notice that it´s there. If we don´t realize the sin operating in our life , it may take a crisis or another person to point it out so that it can be dealt with.
So what do we do when we discover the sin? It´s easy. Just like conducting a virus scan, do the same with the Lord.
Ask the Lord to show you the point of entry. When it is found, confess it, or hit delete. Believe that Jesus has repaired it, renew yourself afresh and get back on track.
All of us run into sin at one time or another in our lives. We are not to feel any condemnation when we realize the sin, because the word says in Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.(NKJ)
Praise God we have Jesus to help us when we obtian a virus. As we reach out to Him, He will hold out His hand and gently set us on the right path. We will walk stronger and bolder as we continue our walk in Him.
Blessings.
