Lest you be carried off on the flood
of their sins."(16:26)
How often do I flirt with sin?
Do I run up and touch it - then dash away?
Do I bat my eyes at it, thinking I am in control?
Sin is so real.
"Carried off on the flood". Not a trickle, or a small stream, or even a river.
Not a flood, but The flood.
One small bite of a forbidden fruit - flood over the whole world - our Savior crucified on the Cross - separated from God - resurrected - conquering the grave.
One small bite.
How do I go among the world and not allow sin to touch my soul? Not allow it to penetrate my life? To not be curious about it and stop to check it out?
Only by being totally enveloped in Him.
His Word - directs me - leads and supplies me.
The Holy Spirit - fills and protects me.
Christ saved and instructs me "be wise as serpents and innocent as doves" (Matthew 10:16).
My ABBA - He carries me in the palm of His hand.
It is when I decide to take control and do things my way - instead of His. Then sin touches me.
It is when I decide to take control and do things my way - instead of His. Then sin touches me.
satan is the father of lies. he knows what will entice me - draw me - catch my eye. To draw my focus off of God onto him or myself.
Through Him I am able to really see - a sin is a sin. Outside of Christ, sin separates me from God.
It is all about keeping my focus on God.
It is all about keeping my focus on God.
Not to be curious or flirt with sin. After all, curiosity did kill the cat.
