Read the WHOLE Bible in just ONE year
Numbers 4 to 6
Does it sound like an advert for your house? Or even your church?
Actually, you are more likely to see this on a multitude of foods available from the supermarket.
There are even stories of people picking up jars of peanut butter that say "this product may contain traces of nuts" – I don't know whether this is true, but it certainly is stating the obvious on some products. The warning is of course given to prevent litigation.
You could of course spare a thought at this moment for the person with the nut allergy that is scouring the supermarket for something that they can eat!
I am drawn to the truth that God contains no dangerous additives. Almost everything else in life has a sting in it's tail. Since the fall of man in Genesis 3, corruption has multiplied in the Earth, and animals scratch or kill, plants upset or poison and even nature itself seems to turn on us.
This was not God's plan, but it is a reality. Many struggle to understand why they have such a "bad reaction" to life, when the truth is that we obstruct God in His desire to be involved in every part of what we do.
Have you been hesitant in taking that next step in allowing God into that part of your life that you have kept hermetically sealed? He cannot make things worse for you! He wants to make things better. Allow one of the Bible's greatest principles to work in your life – love God enough to allow Him unrestricted access and this promise will be activated in your life:
Rom 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. NIV
