Sin will take you farther than you want to go!
Recently my wife and I were doing some shopping and we were discussing the way people look as they would walk through the mall or a store. It’s interesting to watch them, somebody one time said, a picture is worth a thousand words. We couldn’t help but to notice the look on the faces of so many people.
Many times you will notice the look of hurt, confusion and frustration when you would pass them. While sitting on a bench, I overheard a man talking, he had told the person there in conversation how old he was, I found it interesting to me because he just so happened to be the same age as myself, yet you could see that he had abused his body with the vices of sin.
He actually looked like he was 15 or even 20 years older than he was; I must say his age was a surprise to me, but also the reminder of the price of sin.
The Word of God teaches us that there is a beautiful trade off when we come to the Lord and give ourselves to him: Isa 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
It’s so beautiful to see the glory of the Lord on the people of God, and friend you can tell the difference and you know when it’s there.
What a blessing to live for God and to have him touch our countenance regardless of what we might be dealing with in our lives.
We know that sin will rob you of your beauty, health and strength and then it will bring forth death; separation from God, doomed to a devils hell that was not prepared for mankind but for the devil and his angels, think of this, when a person lives a life of sin and ends up in hell, they go as an intruder, because hell was never prepared for us but for the enemy of our soul.
I want to spend my life living for God and reaping his blessings, how about you?
Praying with YOU in mind,
