Even the nicest of Christians is not immune to the most insidious of sins.
You see, Satan hates it when we’re nice.
That’s why he so persistently tempts us toward the opposite.
That’s why he dangles the sometimes delicious lure of gossip in front of us so that we’ll swallow it in the twisted belief that it will satisfy a craving that could only be described as carnal.
You and I strive to resist these temptations, of course, because we know they are tricky traps described by the Bible as “tasty morsels.”
But sadly, we’ve all chosen at times to illustrate the axiom “You are what you eat.”
We’ve become lousy crumbs.
Let’s pledge once and for all to do better.
Let’s pledge once and for all to recognize and reject Satan’s tricky trap.
Let’s weave Proverbs 10:18 into our lifestyle map.
“Slandering others makes you a fool.” (New Living Translation)
When someone wrongs us, let’s pray for them, not prey upon them.
As always, I love you
Martin
