Fleeting pleasure.
As a young single mom, who strayed from God from time to time, I knew in my heart, God was right there.
There have been valleys and there have been mountaintop experiences along my journey.
What temporal, fleeting pleasures are you settling for today? Booze, drugs, unhealthy relationships, money, fame, fill in the blank with anything you have held onto for yourself?
The devil will tell you all day long how bad you are, how defeated you should feel and how living for Christ will get you nowhere. Sin is a liar! It will not give the pleasure that it promises to deliver, but our God will not only deliver the pleasure that we are longing for, HE will give us pleasures forevermore!
Sin is truly pleasurable or people would not be so addicted to it. The problem is that the pleasure is temporary and the addiction permanent, because sinners disconnect their quest for pleasure from their eternal Creator.
God is good and we are all made in the image of God. God hates sin and it’s not too late to give your life to Christ today.
God may not give you what you want, but He promises to give you eternal life after this life as we know it, ends on earth.
Choose God!
Mark 8:34 - “Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.”
Psalm 39:4 - “Show me, Lord, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is.”
