365 Days of Praise Challenge-Day 236

100% containted! The Waldo Canyon fire was reported to be 100% containted last evening. So thankful to God for helping the fire fighters get control of this fire. This thought of a fire being contained makes me think of us and our sins. How contained are our sins? I don't even know that we can be fully contained when it comes to sins but I do think it is something we can strive for. Find your area of trouble and focus on containing that sin. Like the firefighters who would focus on the really hot spots.  Do you have a mouth that needs to stop talking and start listening? Do you have no self-control when it comes to food? Do you relish talking about others behind their backs? The questions could go on and on. What is your fire that needs containing? Only the help of the Holy Spirit can help in this containtment on your sins. The Holy Spirit is like a plane full of fire retardant ready to be dumped on the fire but that plane needs to be called into action. Pray for the Holy Spirit to help you contain your fire, conquer your sin. Our fires will continue until the day we die. Keep fighting the fires of sin with the Holy Spirit. Be in the Word and have the Word be in you. Strive for as much containment as possible.
Psalm 119:11
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
