MY GERMS
Today's reading: Numbers 5-8

Reading today's Scripture selection I was not drawn so much to a verse as to a chapter heading: The purity of the camp. Rules and regulations to keep contagious germs from being passed from one tent to another among the Israelites.

What 'germs' might I have taken to my church yesterday? Did I infect sisters with doubt? Fear? Disregard for sin?

Might I have innoculated someone in my pew, in my Sunday School class, in the children's program against discouragement? Defeat? Satan's tricks?

How pure am I keeping my church? My family? Myself?
