I'm just keep thinking about the incredible snowball effect of sin. It's amazing that it's always inevitable....it's so easy to be in denial about, but no matter what instance we look to...it always happens. It's like 'A and B' will always lead to 'C'....they are attached. It's inevitable..... So, if we are given 'A', we just can't even contemplate 'B'. Why? Because of what I just said. Its exactly why the Lord is so clear in his word to be careful of our thoughts.
Some once said it very well. Our thoughts become words. Our words become actions. Our actions become habits......then it's really hard!!! If we have 'A and B' which lead to 'C' then 'D'.....and on and on.....imagine what a fight we have on our hands now! We have to be thankful and satisfied with the blessings of 'A' and not go looking or even contemplate on 'B'.
I think this idea could be applied to just about anything that God gives us and it's easy to become distracted by 'B' if our feet are not firmly planted and our thoughts are not where they are supposed to be....on God. An empty space IS a place! Human nature will want to fill it with something and Satan is all too eager to give suggestions!
