| Do not slight meetings. All of us get tired and we are all busy. Remember that the body is an area available to the enemy when he seeks to attack. And when the body resists, it is almost impossible to move if the goal is spiritual - there is an added resistance to every move, and often there is a dullness of mind that accompanies. Women give the excuse of being too tired, and men are to busy. There are times when we stay home because of illness but they are far less frequent than the body seems to demand. Children seem to be fussier and more feverish on Sunday mornings. The Holy Spirit is able to give discernment if there is a genuine need to stay away. Otherwise, get up and go. More often than not, you will discover the ache, illness, or dullness will flee. What is your body for? To glorify the Lord.
