I always marvel at the way God designed our bodies. Currently on my mind is the way in which the immune system takes on all comers and doesn’t wait until the last minute to get involved.
Disease is a very familiar result of the fall and the coming of sin into the world.
(Rom 8:22 KJV) For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.It gets personal when these miniature vectors of evil attack our bodies with enough force to generate a noticeable response. I can feel the opening skirmishing going on. Coughing and sneezing are indications that irritation is invading the airways. Sometimes they are repulsed but if they are persistent they may overwhelmed the first lines of defense. Runny noses, vocal congestion, aches and pains are all indications.
For me the attack is on. Each day I marvel that the invaders have not won any big battles. I am grateful to the white blood cells and different micro-organisms that lead the defense. I am mindful that God provided for all of this.
My part is to get enough rest, exercise and eat properly. If it were WWII I would be selling war bonds and rationing sugar.
The battle will continue as long as I am alive to celebrate victories.
