If we do not watch it and start shaving, the beard will take over. We can shave every once in a while and become sweet again; but before you know it the beard comes back. If we want to stay sweet, we must shave and shave often to keep the beard from showing itself.
Sin is like the beard. We start out sweet and innocent. When we are exposed to the world our sinful nature starts to come out. If we don't watch it and read the word and keep the sin from growing in our lives we will become accustomed to living with the "beard" a sinful life.
The word of God is as sharp as a two edged sword. It cuts off the bad "sin" of our live so that we can live healthy. If we "shave" by reading the world of God it will keep the sinful nature from taking over. If we keep our mind on the word and think of good things we will do good things.
How long has it been since you shaved?
