verse of the day

Be sure your sin will find you out [Exodus 20 v14/17 ]

There is a saying,if you play with fire you will be burnt,it is in the book of Proverbs we have similar words,and it is in relation to someone committing adultery.In chapter 6 v27-28 ,the writer writes the following / Can a man take fire into his bosom, and his clothes be not burned?. Can one go upon hot
coals,and his feet not be burned?/ In other words there are consequences to our wrong actions, especially in relation to adultery. This is a sin that is very prevalent, in Exodus 20 we read ,/Thou shalt not commit adultery [v14] It is so easy to fall into this sin,in order to not be overcome,we must break off any relationship ,that could eventually lead to this sin.What did Joseph do when feeling pressurised by another mans wife?. He left his garment,in her hand, and fled, and got him out[Genesis 39 v12] We can also stop coveting that which is not ours,most sins start in our heart,we look, we covet ,and then we fall ,into our own trap.There is a saying which goes,the grass is always greener in the other field,but it is not, don't be fooled,that grass will turn to gravel in your mouth. Again from Proverbs 9 v17-18,/Stolen waters are sweet,and bread eaten in secret is pleasant,But he knoweth not that the dead are there,and her guests are in the depths of hell.Remember there is always a price to pay when we sin,always,
A   prayer....../Dear God save us from the sin of adultery in Jesus name Amen/
