Everyone
remembers the story about the three little pigs, right? They each build a
house with a different type of material and in the end only one is
protected from the big bad wolf.
Have
you ever applied this thinking to your spiritual life? You can build
yourself a spiritual life that is pretty shoddy and the big bad wolf known as
the devil will easily be able to take it down. If you build one that is
only partially stable, then it may take a little longer, but the big bad wolf
will still find a way in.
What
if you were to build that spiritual life out of the best materials you
can? Do you think that it could withstand the hardest and longest huffs
and puffs from the wolf? Do you think that any weak spots could easily be
built back up and only make it stronger and stronger?
The
next time you are under attack spiritually from the big bad wolf, I want you to
think about the structure that your spiritual life is made from. If it
looks like it may be weak, it just may be time to rebuild that structure, only
this time stronger than ever. Having a
prayer partner, joining a small group, reading His word, and individual prayer are
all examples of ways to rebuild that structure and gain the protection you
seek. Yes it’s not always easy to fit
that into a schedule, but it is better than letting the big bad wolf knock your
house down, isn’t it?
