The local establishment I visited this week is usually quite secure; no one gets in without a key or authorized fob. Yet, there was the front door–propped open with a pine board.
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
Romans 13:14 (NKJV)
I realized this week I’d done some door propping of my own, to the front door of my heart. This left me “wide open” to letting in the flesh.
A rather stressful past several days tempted me to click on an app I once used for mindfulness meditation. I originally started, when my anxiety peaked, back during the COVID-19 pandemic. After two panic attacks in as many weeks, I sought relief through mindfulness.
However, I eventually realized the way point for the practitioners I followed was not Jesus Christ. For the full story of my dabblings in Buddhism, please read, Just a Little Off Course.
Manette Kay, of MusingsofManetteKay, recently gifted me a wonderful devotional book called Pray a Word a Day. The selection for yesterday prompted me to remove the aforementioned app from my phone, once and for all.
Haplotes is a Greek word, often translated as “simplicity.” But a fuller definition gives us simplicity with the purpose of being devout: single-hearted focus on Christ.
