Psalm 123:3
"Have mercy upon us, O lord, have mercy
upon us: for we are exceeding
filled with contempt"
What we must beware of is not so much damage to our belief in God as damage to our Christian temper. "Therefore take heed to thy spirit, that ye deal not treacherously." The tamper of mind is tremendous in its effects, it is the enemy that penetrates right into the soul and distracts the mind from God. There are certain tempers of mind that we never dare indulge; if we do we will find they have distracted us from faith in God. When this happens our confidence in the flesh and in humane ingenuity takes over.
I wonder has any Christian not had a time were the Spiritual temper has been challenged. Of course some would say; "No I don't believe it has or I am not sure." Others might response with; "No it hasn't and it will not happen because my faith in God will never be distracted or separated. I would say you might want to think about your answer. Here I am talking about distracting and separating our faith away from God
"Beware of the cares of this world," because they are the things that produce a wrong temper in our soul. What an enormous power there is in simple things to distract our attention from God. Refuse to be swamped with the cares of this life. The next time you say; I am going to put my faith down just long enough to handle this problem; Remember, to guard your Spiritual temper, because any amount of distraction and separation from our God cause's damage to our soul. Let us keep our eyes on God and our Spiritual tempers will stay in check.
