The voice of Temptation Proverbs 1:11-14

Looking at these friends in these four verse its easy to say there not friends at all. Anybody who makes it easy for us to disobey God certainly isn't a friend. Lets be honest and say sin is appeasing to the eye and our flesh, if sin wasn't then nobody would do it. In Hebrews 11:25 it says, "He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time." Sin sounds exciting to our flesh but it only leads to disaster and death. How tragic that a group of people would find enjoyment in doing evil; and how foolish they were for thinking their quick fix or their fast cash would satisfy their desires. That's the thing about our sinful desires there never satisfied. We as people don't realize how far we have strayed until its rock bottom. Sometimes it even feels like we have blinders on and we forget what's really important, and the only thing we care about is our sinful agenda. It seems like it's a bunch of small compromises that lead to bigger and bigger compromises of our choices and character. They rejected the eternal treasures of wisdom for the cheap trinkets of this world, and they lost their souls in the bargain. As I reread this passage I thought a lot about Judas and how he sold Jesus out for thirty pieces of silver. Question how many times do we sell Jesus out for less? How many times do we give up Godly blessings for worldly treasures? Something to think about.
