In the early 1800s, a German doctor discovered a specific bacterium in food that was leading to many illnesses in the area. By the early 1900s, the discovery had turned into a public health hazard, and it was identified as one of the most dangerous contagions in the world. By the early 2000s, people were paying to have this toxin injected into their bodies.

Proverbs rhetorically asks us, “Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned? Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched?” (6:27-28)

Researchers and scientists discovered a beneficial use for the toxin that centuries earlier led to many deaths, and Botulinum toxin, better known as Botox, is used today in the aid of everything from eye muscle disorders to migraine headaches 

But just as we wouldn’t inject an unknown poison into our bodies, we have to be careful with what we feed ourselves spiritually. Flee from sin. Call on the name of the Lord who saves. And set your eyes on Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith.
