Pet Sin
“Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.” (Proverbs 14:9)
Today’s Morsel: I’m not against people have pets, but I totally disagree with folks having snakes, rats, mice, and even piranhas for pets. Why would folks choose something dangerous to be a pet without considering their life, the life of others, and even their children’s safety? The same is true when it comes to sin. Some folks treat sin like it is a pet or a dear friend. Solomon says that fools make a mock at sin. In other words, it’s the fool that says in his heart that there is no God (Psalms 14:1), and it is the fool that doesn’t see sin as dangerous to their life, the lives of others, or their loved ones. Sin is like being wrapped by a python. Pretty soon it will wrap itself tight around you and squeeze the life right out of you. Or it’s like have your pet rats or mice get loose in your home, soon there will be more rats and mice than you care to live with. Sin is dangerous, and you shouldn’t play around with it. Paul said that it should not have dominion over you or be a part of your new life. “Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.” (John 8:34) We must not be a servant to Satan. We must not allow sin to be a pet in our homes. It must never be allowed to enter our doors.
Sing: I was once a sinner, but I came pardon to receive from my Lord. This was freely given, and I found that He always kept His word. There’s a new name written down in glory, and it’s mine, o yes, it’s mine! And the white robed angels sing the story, “A sinner has come home.” For there’s a new name written down in glory, and it’s mine, o yes, it’s mine! With my sins forgiven I am bound for heaven, never more to roam.
Thought For Today: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)
