Deuteronomy 27:28 The Lord will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.

The first sign of a yeast infection is the itch. Need I tell you the first sign of sin is the itch? It is hard to resist an itch but scratching the itch only makes things worse. But we do it don’t we? We instinctively scratch the itch, knowing good and well from experience that it feels good for the moment and leads to a serious infection.

The itch is not sin. It is the sign of the presence of sin and action needs to be taken to avoid an infection. It is the good conscience that warns us and we need to take heed and take action. Do not scratch, medicate.

Jeremiah 51:8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.

Exodus 30:25 And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.

In New Testament terms, take to your prayer closet and ask for mercy and grace. You will be tempted to scratch that itch, but the Lord will not allow you to be tempted above that which you can endure.

James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
