Let's face it, sin can be enticing. At a very basic, fleshly level... sin looks really good. I have a feeling it's like that because sin is ultimately all about us. And, quite frankly, we really like it when it's all about us. When it is all about us, life feels good. But beware... it's a trap!
Believing it's a trap, we must choose to stay far away. Acknowledging that sin does feel good at first, what if we choose to forgo our feelings for a moment? What if we choose to live out of what we know rather than what we feel. I know, it's a crazy thought!
Remember that the good life comes from knowledge of God's goodness and that starts with a healthy fear of Him. Here's what we know for sure– God is the biggest giver of life there is while sin is the biggest taker... simply put, sin is a trap. That's why sinners have to entice us into it. They have to use some kind of bait in order to get us to bite.
If we live out of the facts and not out of our feelings, the enticement to sin fails. Sin's trap never sprung is a beautiful thing in the life of a follower of Christ. Having said that, be careful what you give your consent to today.
