Psalm
119:133
"Keep steady my
steps according to your promise, and let no iniquity get dominion over me."
ESV
Many believe today
that quick and unexpected temptation or tragedy will sweep us away into the
depths of sin without our being able to get control over it. The problem is, sin
is always slow, creeping, tiny little steps that all seem just fine. There is no
awareness that we are moving farther along the road to destruction, until we are
stuck deep in it's ruts. Just like carbon monoxide, an odorless poison, can take
our lives without any fanfare, sin works the same way. We are warned repeatedly
in the Scriptures to be alert, watchful, and aware. Sin can get dominion over us
in ways we are unaware if we do not keep watch.
Heavenly Father, we
stand in need of Your grace so that our minds will be focused on You and Your
repeated instruction for us to be alert and watchful. Give us more hunger for
Your Word so that we will better recognize the odorless poison of sin and turn
from it. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
