The Dust

The Dust

“ The Dust”, as the locals call it, are barely visible to the naked eye, but the power in their microscopic jaws makes known their presence.  You thought an ant was strong and determined. If one millimeter of your skin is not covered (especially around the ankle area) you will know quickly that you’ve been visited.  Much like sin, “The Dust” are present and ready to devour our flesh when it is made available for their feasting.  I have found some important  things out through trial  and error. Bug spray does not  work. Insect soap only works temporarily. They must be deaf, because yelling only gives me a headache. By clothing myself completely, I am hot and a bit uncomfortable, but well protected. The breeze blows gently to cool me down, and “The Dust” is carried away on the wind.

We are clothed in righteousness by the blood of Jesus (Revelation 3:18). We are to put on the whole armor of God each and every day (Ephesians 6:10-20). And we must walk in the Spirit and not according to our flesh (Galatians 5:16). With the help of the Holy Spirit let’s starve “The Dust”.
