Vanquished By the Little Ones

What began as a dry spring turned in May to plentiful rain and a bit of snow. Now, we begin to reap the benefits including a veritable army of little flying creatures. Generally, these LFCs come in flavors, such as some seem to enjoy the shade while others are more sun oriented. These latest ones appear to simply like human wherever they can get it and their flavor is not exactly tasty or palatable. I don't know how many there are, but yesterday the consensus was simply: too many. As I pondered this, I realize that little sins can vanquish us even as we guard against the big ones. Furthermore, I probably have written a devotional very much like that at about the same time of the year, perhaps more than once. It may be that the little flying creatures bug me just too much!

We have an ambassadorship here on this earth. However, we also have this wonderful heavenly home that we have not seen. We long to be there, but our job is here. When something bugs us about here, we like to see in the prophets that it won't be there. Finding it in the Law wouldn't be so bad either. Something like: There shalt be-eth no annoying-ish little bugs in Heaven. Of course the Law and the prophets had more serious fare than addressing what bothers me or you at this time of the year.

Praise God our Lord Jesus came to cure a deeper need than our little irritations and annoyances. We have a savior who loves us so much that He died to cure our sin illness, now and forever.
