TIED UP

Today's reading: Proverbs 5-6

"An evil man is held captive by his own sins; they are ropes that catch and hold him." Proverbs 5:22 NLT

I know several people who are currently tied up in sin.

They will boast they are in complete control of the situation, and yet from my viewpoint, what they believe they are in control of--actually controls them.

Sin is subtly sneaky like that.

It allows you to make the choice.

It lets you hold the reins for a while.

It slowly and steadily begins to change what you see, change what you tolerate, change who you are.

It manuevers its way from being led to doing all the leading.

It doesn't just happen to those who are oblivious, slow or unchurched--it can happen to us all.

So this morning, won't you join me in asking God to untie us, and our loved ones, from any sins that are entangling us?
