Heed Not The Sinful

"My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not."  Proverbs 1:10.  Sin has always used enticement.  Sin makes that which is bad appear good and that which is wrong appear to be right.  Sin uses deceit.  Sin will never improve our lives nor will sin be a benefit to our character.  Sin causes harm.  It brings regret and guilt.  Sin has destroyed so many lives.  It is that act which destroys homes.  Sin leaves tragedy in its path.  The wisdom of the proverb is that we are to leave sin alone and not listen to its word of enticement.  A wonderful example of not being enticed by sinners is Joseph.  The wife of Potiphar tried to lure him into sin, but Joseph fled the enticement.  His character remained pure and his honor remained intact.  Let us, like Joseph, refuse to be enticed by sinners.
