Flat Tire?

 While I was fixing a flat tire a week ago, I flipped the tire inside out so I could check it for whatever glass or metal that had punctured my inner tube. I just about stabbed myself on this nail! Somehow it got flipped at just the right angle to stab my tire.

Then, a few minutes later, I found a little bit of plastic, not too big, not too sharp, but wedged right into my tire. It stuck out just enough that, over time, it may have worked itself into my inner tube.

If the bit of plastic had been left there long enough, it would have punched just as good a hole as the nail. It didn't matter that it wasn't as long or sharp. A hole is a hole.

Some sins don't seem serious. They may not be as obvious to other people. They might not be taught about as much as other, bigger sins. But they can do the job just fine. A sin is a sin, and it distances us from God. It doesn't have to be "big", or "serious", to put a  hole in our lives.

So be careful! And when things go bad, use the Spiritual Patch Kit!
