Proverbs 9:17
"Stolen water is sweet;
food eaten in secret is delicious!"
How true is that! The deception of sin can be overwhelming. Although I have many stories of my own that I could share, I'll share a story of my 5 year old from yesterday.
Yesterday, he enjoyed a "legal" jawbreaker mid-morning. About an hour later the box was still on the counter and he couldn't avoid the temptation to have just one more - "illegally." So he took it upon himself to have another one which I am sure he enjoyed immensely - right up until he was found out by his sister who then ratted him out!!
Sin can seem so alluring and delicious but it always has consequences attached - always. Nothing is done in absolute secret - nothing.
