Leviticus 11:38 NLT
“But if the seed is wet when the carcass falls on it, the seed will be defiled.”
But if the seed is wet…
Medical science has shown us that our immune system is our body’s natural defence mechanism against viruses and other harmful pathogens. However, a weak immune system can make us more susceptible to infections. Although viruses can attack any immune system, individuals with weaker immune systems are more likely to experience severe symptoms and complications. Therefore, it’s essential to prioritize our internal health and take proactive steps to boost our immunity, just as we take measures to maintain a clean and hygienic living environment.
As followers of Christ, we understand that our spiritual well-being is just as important as our physical health. The state of our hearts and minds directly impacts how we respond to external attacks and challenges. Today’s scripture provides an insightful analogy, comparing seed grains to our spiritual lives. As seed grains can only be defiled if wet, our hearts can only be contaminated if we allow sin to seep in and take root. However, if we remain vigilant and guard our hearts against the world’s influences, we can maintain a pure and blameless state (1 Peter 5:8; Romans 12:1-2).
The lesson for us is that we must create an environment conducive to spiritual growth and resist the temptations of the flesh (James 4:8). By doing so, we can welcome the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and be empowered to live a life honouring God. Therefore, let us be mindful of the influences we allow into our lives and strive to create an atmosphere that nurtures our faith and will enable us to flourish as believers in Christ.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, please help me to create an environment that will only be inviting to the Holy Spirit. I pray that You will help me not to harbour anything that will attract defilement. In Jesus’s name, Amen.
