Each day we all make about 35,000 decisions. Some are minor - like what socks you’re going to put on - but others are major like 'will I accept that new job offer?' Regardless, along the way there are other decisions that we can choose to open a door that we know we should not go through, but we do so anyway.
Each time we choose to open the door to temptation, there is always a 'promise' that on the other side it will satisfy something we think we want - yet the opposite is always true.
You see, this is exactly how Satan works. The promise is that 'Your Sin Will SATISFY,' — and the Bible even says that in Hebrews 11:25 saying that there can be enjoyment in sin for a time, but afterwards there is always also a price to pay. This can be in self-guilt, embarrassment, public shame, physical harm, or even legal consequence.
Friend, in this mortal, fleshly life, temptation and sin will always be with us. The challenge we all have each day is recognizing that one or more of those 35,000 decisions may be asking us to open a door that we know we should not. As today’s verse reminds us, we need to be careful how and where we walk and do so WISELY.
What door will you choose to not walk through today?
