I read about a man who was flying his small airplane when he noticed something disturbing. He saw a mouse on the plane with him. This was troubling because mice can gnaw through important wires and cause serious damage to a plane.

The pilot had an inspired idea. He took the plane higher into the sky, where the oxygen levels are much lower. Upon landing the plane, he found that the mouse had not survived the higher altitude.

If there is some sin that is threatening to destroy your relationship with God, maybe you need to fly higher. The closer you get to God, the less likely it is that sin will bring you down.

Psalm 121:2—“My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”
