I don't get sick often -- once a year at the very most, often less. Under the weather now, and everything loses focus when you're head is clouded. Work is out of the question. Those exercise goals? Right. But there's also been a spiritual effect. Barely recall my daily Bible reading. Prayer is half-hearted when you're body is lethargic. Missed church on Sunday. Lenten goals? Whatever.
That's what amazes me, is why the devil doesn't make everyone sick all the time. Massive flu outbreaks would cripple churches that depend on weekly tithing. Daily reading schedules would be thrown all out of whack. Pastor can't preach through that book if he's ailing. Concert of prayer? Sorry, we're at the store buying robitussin. I've been told the devil is smarter and more clever than anyone on earth. If so, why hasn't he thought of this?
