Moth to a flame

The other evening I noticed how many moths are drawn to the lights. Start some kind of flame or put on a light and they are immediately drawn to it. The tragedy is that what draws them to light ends up killing them, as they get burnt by the flames (or light globe). Sin has the same effect on us. It draws us in because it looks "brilliant" and "bright", but in the end it only burns us.

"By that sin fell the angels." -William Shakespeare

So, today I urge us all to be conscious of what motivates us and what draws us into its brilliance - it may not be what it pretends to be.

Romans 5:21 - "...so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Living in grace
