Sin is deceitful

Keep in mind as you read about Israel’s affliction in today’s reading, that the Jews had gone down to Egypt and lived off the best of the land (Gen. 47:6). This luxury has now turned into sorrow and suffering. It is an inescapable principle of life! Sin promises freedom and happiness, but in the end, only leads to bondage and sorrow. Be constantly on guard against the “deceitfulness of sin”! (Heb. 3:13; Rom. 7:11; Eph. 4:22)

It’s the same solution our Lord Jesus Christ identified in Revelation 2:4-5 for those times we find ourselves in the world’s snare, having “left our first love.” Jesus said, “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works.” Do you need to follow Jesus’ admonition and Abram’s example? Note the simplicity: Remember. Repent. Repeat. 

Dreams

Dreams without execution is hallucination.
