Every Sunday at church I give an object lesson for the children - a spiritual lesson using concrete objects to help them understand the concept. I've been thinking a bit about lice (and you all KNOW why lice have been on my mind).
I think that if I used lice as an object lesson, I would use them as a concrete example of those "sins that so easily beset us." An example of those sins that we fall back to again and again and are so difficult to get rid of.
I don't know what yours is, but I know what mine is. In order to get rid of them, it's going to take a super-awareness of them, a dedication to do everything it takes to get rid of them, and - of course - a dependence upon God.
By the way, this is the least-disgusting photo I could find relating to lice. I think if we were as disgusted by our "comfortable" sins as we are by lice, we would get rid of them in a big hurry!
