Madame Marie Curie holds her place in history as a pioneer in the study of radioactivity. In 1903, she was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize. capturing the honor in physics. Then, in 1911. she received a second Nobel Prize, this one in Chemistry.

Such a wonderful contribution did not come without tremendous sacrifice. Madam Curie died of Leukemia casused by prolonged exposure to radioactive materials. Even today, scholars who wish to read her handwritten journals and lab patpers must wear protective clothing because these archieves are still radioactive.

No one today would approach radioactive material without protection. But many seem unconcerned about exposure to the daners of sin. Psalm 1 warns us against sinful attitudes, speech, and behavior (vv.1,4-6).

Obedience to God's law is a spiritrual safeguards from sin and its deadly conqsequences. The psalmist also wrote, "Your Word, I have hidden in my heart that I might not sin against You." (119-11).

Madame Curie didn't know about the serious health dangers of exposure to radioactivity, But God has given us ample warning about the dangers of sin. Let's apply daily what we read read in His life-giving Book.

"Thy Word is a lamp to my feet,
a light to my path always,
To guide and to save me from sin
And show me the heavenly way."

"The Bible will tell you what is wrong before you have done it!" - D.L. Moody
