Seductively Appealing

Too much of what we see around us is seductive, being supplied to appeal to the masses, partly to distract us from the beauty of love for one another, but more so to distract us only to its beauty. Like a moth to flame and as in the days of moses beauty was meant to allure us into sins of the flesh.

The appeal of skin is nothing new and has been around since the dawning days of our fathers. As with all sin, the more appealing the more we seem to slide down that slippery slope falling further into sin and further from our Lord, Jesus.

While we normally set our sights on things of this world, new homes, new jobs, new clothes, more investments, etc. the list could go on for miles.

The true demon here is knowing that we are easily distracted, for some it is fatal and last forever into eternity. Knowing right from wrong yet continuing to sin is one of those roads to destruction, unless we detour our course it will surely lead to our doom.

Sometime the best course of action is no action, better to set sail only in the safety of the bay or to merely take baby steps than to press full throttle into oblivion dooming us and those who follow us into disaster.

Repent and be renewed or stay the course and be replused.
