The enemy is cunning, and he accomplishes most of his tomfoolery in our lives under the banner of seemingly harmless things (ie. a little bit of unforgiveness, a little bit of overeating, a little bit of gossip). On the face of it, these petty little crimes seem like they shouldn’t cause much havoc in our lives. But when we look a little closer, we realize that most of our problems, as believers, stem back to these seemingly innocuous inlet points. The enemy banks on the fact that we will deem our “harmless misdemeanors” as petty and unworthy of a closer look. Whereas the strength of the Christian life is found when we allow the Holy Spirit to touch us in these very places.
