A Kitchen Mystery
I arrived home one day and instantly detected a delightful aroma in the kitchen. But where was the fragrance was coming from?
No tasty restaurant meal stood on the counter. No stews simmered on the stove. No casserole baked in the oven. Even the crock pot lay unplugged, clean, and empty. The microwave? Nothing there either.
I even opened the refrigerator, but the wonderful smell didn’t come from inside.
My mouth watered. I didn’t know where this dish was, but I’d enjoy eating it. Here was a first class mystery.
Finally, I discovered the source of the delicious aroma.
My wonderful, tantalizing fragrance was coming from the garbage disposal.
My Spiritual Point
This is a true story of mine. Garbage never smelled so good.
Sin is like the false, pleasing aroma I smelled in my kitchen.
When we first sin in a new area, no one knows. Frequently, giving into sin is exciting and fun. But the end is always bitter. The devil designed it that way. We often forget Satan loathes us. So every tempting “gift”‘ he offers us is a life-damaging trap.
Think of a spicy, adulterous affair which causes a parent to lose their children’s respect and love forever.
Don’t be fooled by the delicious smell of the devil’s garbage.
