A lesson from the devil's claw plant......

August 29,2020

Today's lesson is about sin and comes to us from the devil's claw plant.  How many of you know what this plant is?  

Well.... it looks rather pretty growing in the pasture.  It has nice little flowers and the plant is soft to touch.  Looks harmless enough.....

As it grows it develops pods that hang down and they look kind of nice too.....

BUT when the plant matures those pods are not nice at all!!

 They are very frustrating!  The ends are sharp and catch in everything they can get a hold of.  The are horrible in your horses tail or on your boots. What looked like a harmless little attractive plant turned into a nightmare problem.  

Sin is that way to.  At first it looks harmless enough.  It looks attractive and enticing.  Doesn't look like it would hurt anything.  BUT watchout!  It will get you too!!  

Genesis 4:7  sin is lurking at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it.”.

Let's all examine our lives.  Have we opened the door to sin?  Shut it quick, confess your sin, repent, and get back into a right relationship with Jesus!  Let us glorify Him in all we do!
