If we coddle, fondle, and tolerate sin, God knows it will eventually gain greater, destructive control of our lives.  That’s why He instructed the Israelites to destroy their enemies and the corrupting influence they presented when they entered the Promised Land.

Sin is a venomous snake and should be totally eliminated and treated with contempt.

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, by Your mercy You instruct us and lead us in paths of righteousness. Grace us to resist the allure of sin.

DAILY READING:  Deut. 7-9
