Daily spiritual nourishment

A terrifying incident befell a teenage girl while she was busy ice skating, because the lake water that was initially frozen suddenly melted, causing her to fall into the lake with a temperature of approximately minus 13 degrees Celsius. She tried to swim to the edge, but her thick clothes and ice skating gear still attached to her body hindered her movement; eventually, she began to suffer from hypothermia and drowned. Some people who saw the incident tried to provide help, and 15 minutes later, a rescue team arrived. After various efforts, the girl was finally pulled from the lake. The girl was immediately rushed to a car equipped with a heating unit, and at that very moment, paramedics quickly removed the girl's clothes, until not a single piece of fabric was left on her body; the process took no more than ten minutes. After that, new clothes were immediately put on her and a warm blanket was provided. This was done not to embarrass the girl, but for the process of saving her. Likewise, God's attention in our lives is such that not a single one of our actions in this world is hidden from the observation of God's eyes. So, if there are Christians today living in sin and wickedness, such as: adultery, hatred, envy, malice, unforgiveness, involvement in illegal drugs, or involvement in acts of corruption, then repent quickly. For if you do not, you might drown and contract the hypothermia of sin; if you are not rescued, you will surely die. Just look at Ephesians 5:11: “Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” Never ever try to participate or take part in doing sin, because once trapped, it will be difficult to get out. Indeed, for a moment, the offers of sin are tempting, but the pit of death awaits surely behind that tempting thing. Reflection: For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live (Romans 8:13). Therefore, let our lives be open before God. An attitude of openness before God shows an attitude of respect to the holy God.
