Wow-I did not post yesterday because yesterday my day began at 6AM and did not end until 11:30PM. What a day! I had ladies bible study in the morning, a mediation in the afternoon and ladies bible study in the evening. I went in expecting that the mediation would be a simple one and I would be out quickly. Unfortunately, it went much later than I expected and I was late to my evening ladies bible study class.
As I was typing some notes on my ipad, I intended to say that the enemy was steady at work and it was taunting me. When I looked down at my notes, it did not at all say what I intended to say but it did get my attention. You see, on a key pad, the letter U is right next to the I. So instead of typing "The enemy is taunting me" I typed "The enemy is tainting me."
Again, it got my mind to racing...when we allow the enemy to taunt us to the point of distancing us from Christ, it can taint us. It can taint our testimony if we allow the distraction, the taunting to lead us to sin.
While one letter can change everything, so can one action. Actions can change our entire life, and while a letter can be changed back to correct the meaning, actions can not.
I went to work changing only one letter and found that while the enemy may taunt me, I will not let it haunt me or give him the opportunity to taint me. I will not faint in doing good or allow him to paint a poor picture of my love for Christ. Is there a letter you need to change?
Taunt
Haunt
Taint

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9
