S - Scripture
Proverbs 7 v. 22 All at once he follows her, as an Ox goes to
the slaughter... as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it
will cost him his life.
O - Observation
Seasons. This verse reminds me of what my pastor always says, "sin is good for a season'. Its so true. While doing a sin, its very pleasurable, its very "me" focused. Its great for a while, but then, you gotta pay the piper. After that period of enjoyment will be a season of suffering. I've seen the impact of drinking and drugs in peoples lives. I've seen the impact of sleeping around (both before and after) in people's lives. I've seen the impact of revenge and how it consumes people's lives. Its EXTREMELY messy. It harms everyone in the path. It will happen. Satan has a plan for us. Jesus tells us in John 10 v. 10a; "The thief (Satan) comes only to steal, and kill and destroy."
A - Application
Do I recognize the seasons in my life? Is there a thief in my house?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Protect me from the thief. Help me to look long term vs. short term. Love Will
