“Medical, Political & Spiritual Pockets of Resistance” April 12
Over the last few years, we have been caught in a battle against an enemy that can only be seen under a microscope. But the battles didn’t stop with a vaccine. And chances are there will be pockets of resistance in this battle against the virus and its cousins. Some will be medical and others political. And there are lessons we think we have learned that we might be tempted to forget once the heat of the battle is over.
But we can have pockets of resistance in our spiritual lives, too, areas where we have failed to let go of “old man” habits or justified something as good enough. And like the Israelites we’ll read about today, those things will be thorns in our sides and hindrances to our walks with God. Perhaps each of us should consider whether or not we have accepted less than God’s best or justified something that will continue to cause problems for us.
