Devotional #2
Proverbs
30:12 (NRSV) There are those who are pure in their own eyes yet are not cleansed of their filthiness.
The
water with which a LWW team begins is from a less-than-clean source. Many times, in addition to invisible
microscopic and viral contaminants, it also contains visible debris and
trash. The first step is to remove the
large, visible debris. The trash filter,
or sediment filter, traps these large particles of contaminant, so that they do
not proceed further into the system, where they pose a system-clogging threat.
Our
lives often mirror this part of the system in their need for initial filtration
of visible, obvious temptations and threats.
There are places and circumstances which pose a very real threat, and
even people who pose a hazard to our health and wholeness. As you proceed along this part of life’s
journey, ask God to give you both wisdom and courage to recognize and separate
yourself from all of the things that would stand between you and faithful
living.
