YESTERDAY MORNING AT THE CAMP, MY DAD WAS BUSY SPREADING MOTH BALLS HERE AND THERE AT THE CAMP. HE THREW THEM AROUND THE EDGES OF THE POND, AROUND THE WOOD PILE, BY THE BOAT AND ALL AROUND THE STAIRS LEADING UP TO THE ACTUAL CAMP ITSELF. OF COURSE I ASKED HIM WHAT IN THE WORLD ALL THOSE MOTH BALLS WERE ABOUT. HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT USUALLY A SNAKE WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR A MOTH BALL OR THE SMELL OF A MOTH BALL.
HEARING MY DADS EXPLANATION OF MOTH BALLS AND SNAKES TURNED INTO A SPIRITUAL LESSON FOR ME YESTERDAY MORNING. I WAS REMINDED THAT MY BIBLE AND THE WORD OF GOD WERE SPIRITUAL BARRIERS TO THE INFLUENCES OF EVIL. IN THE NATURAL, A MOTH BALL CAN GET RID OF A SNAKE. IN THE SPIRITUAL, THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WORD AND A CHRISTIAN LIFESTYLE ACT IN THE SAME WAY.
WE SAW SEVERAL SNAKES THIS WEEKEND, BUT NONE CAME CLOSE TO US. I WONDER HOW MANY MORE WE ACTUALLY DID NOT SEE. AGAIN, THE SAME PRINCIPAL CAN BE APPLIED SPIRITUALLY. WE OFTEN RECOGNIZE SIN IN OUR LIVES DAILY AND CHOOSE NOT TO FOLLOW OUR HUMAN NATURE. HOW OFTEN DOES GOD PREVENT EVEN MORE SIN AND SPIRITUAL DESTRUCTION TO COME OUR WAY?
TODAY, I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR GOD'S PROTECTION. I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT HE PATIENTLY WATCHED OVER ME THROUGHOUT SO MANY YEARS OF MY LIFE. I SEE NOW THAT GOD ALWAYS HAD HIS EYES ON ME. HIS ARMS OF COMPASSION HELD ME THROUGH IT ALL. I DIDNT EVEN KNOW IT, BUT HE GUIDED ME THROUGH MY SELF DESTRUCTION. I REALIZE ALL OF THESE THINGS TODAY.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH, THE SAME GOD WHO STOOD BY ME IS STANDING BY YOU AS WELL. I THANK HIM DAILY FOR HIS FORGIVENESS, HIS GRACE, HIS MERCY AND HIS LOVE. I THANK HIM FOR MY SPIRITUAL PROTECTION. IT WORKS MUCH BETTER THAN MOTH BALLS.
