Slugs

"Mature people are those who have had their powers of discernment trained by practice to distinguish good from evil," Hebrews 5:14.

Thought lately about which super power you'd like to have? Go faster than a speeding bullet? Leap higher than tall buildings? Turn green with rage? Well, seldom do people choose the power of discernment. First, because it's not exactly a magical power: you actually have to work at it, like in a gym. Exertion, sweat, and all that. (Spiritually speaking.) Second, what, exactly, can you do with it when you've got it? Nothing all that exciting. Nothing blows up. Planets usually stay in orbit. But it gives power to recognize when you are being led by the nose by evil. You get power to keep on keeping on in serving Jesus' holy people. To the end. Stamina.

With a brother or sister today we encourage each other to train in faith and patience. Not to become slugs. And, together, in full assurance of hope, we lift thanks to God for his coming inheritance.
