I noticed them in several places I traveled the past ten days. Some friends mentioned them on Facebook. They are the little white puffs of allergy stuff that the trees and grasses are releasing into the air this time of year. Aaaaaaachooooooo! LOL I have been doing better since I started allergy shots. I am building up immunity to my very bad seasonal allergies.
Through prayer, Bible study and serving others, we can build up an immunity to our silly sins. We all have our pet sins. The things that are our "thorn in the flesh" for the lack of a better term. We can grow and learn to avoid the triggers that tempt us to sin. We can reduce temptation by removing ourselves from tempting situations. Why? Because Christ gave himself to save us from our sins! Praise Jesus!
Lord, you set us free with your sacrifice. Please help us live as those who have been set free!

I have listened to this song over and over and thought about how many of us are carrying around shackles that weigh us down. Let us pray for each other to drop them at the feet of Jesus! Praise God!
Shackles as sung by Madisa
Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just wanna praise You
I just wanna praise You
You broke the chains, now I can lift my hands
And I'm gonna praise You
I'm gonna praise You
In the corners of mind
I just can't seem to find a reason to believe
That I can break free
'Cause you see I have been down for so long
Feel like all hope is gone
But as I lift my hands, I understand
That I should praise You through my circumstance
Everything that could go wrong
All went wrong at one time
So much pressure fell on me
I thought I was gonna lose my mind
But I know You wanna see
If I will hold on through these trials
But I need You to lift this load
'Cause I can't take it no more
Been through the fire and the rain
Bound in every kind of way
But God has broken every chain
So let me go
I am far from perfect, but despite my mistakes and my sins, I will never abandon the Lord and he will never abandon me - adapted from a statement about Abraham from the EfM Training Guide
