Today is Monday, July 22, 2019, and here is your daily devote. It is important to remember that in the case of any sin, temporary pleasure leads to lasting pain. Sin takes us farther than we ever intend to go, but starts with a few compromises here and there ends up in weeks, months, or even years of pain and chaos. Our sinful hearts cause us to make choices that have a devastating impact much further into the future than we anticipated.
Additionally, we find that the more we indulge in a particular sin, the harder it becomes to resist it. The more we yield to the flesh, the more we are affected by the destructive power of sin. Frequency does not put us in a position of advantage over sin. It puts us in a position of powerlessness before it.
Sin shapes our desires and our habits, and before long, we find that we are unable to resist certain urges that use to have no power over us. Sometimes we even stop trying. This has since power over us if left unchecked. Sin enslaves us and takes us to dark places we never imagine going in.
We never quite understand how darkness can be until we are engulfed by it. Think about this. Why do we often underestimate the power sin can have in our lives if left unchecked? What are the immediate and long-term dangers of not dealing with the sin in our lives?
