Genesis 3:6 New International Version (NIV)
6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was
good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining
wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who
was with her, and he ate it.
Ouch! We've known the way of sin for thousands of years. Yet
we sometimes still follow the same path. We're lured by something pleasing to
our eyes. We pause for closer inspection of it, allowing ourselves to be caught
up in its desirability. We dabble in it and play with it. We then participate
in the sin. Finally, we involve others in sin. You'd think we would have
learned the pattern and would have stopped by now. So with the help of the Holy
Spirit, why don't we start trying to do just that?
Thought for today:
Am I always seeking “a partner in crime” to share in my downfall?
