SPLINTERS & THORNS
Today's reading: Numbers 33-36

"But if you fail to drive out the people who live in the land, those who remain will be like splinters in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will harass you in the land where you live. And I will do to you what I had planned to do to them." Numbers 33:55-56 NLT

Splinters and thorns.

The weaknesses in our characters that allow sin to creep in.

The addictions or habits we have that cause us to stumble in our walks with Him.

The tendencies we have come to accept as our 'nature'.

They do harass, don't they? They are a constant annoyance. They're always there, nagging you, weighing you down, re-occurring faster than we can keep them prayed away. One quite often leads to another. And another. And another.

I think it's time we drove some of these 'people' out of our lives and take hold of the new land He has given us!
