Many a person has mistakenly assumed they could reserve a part of their heart for weeds, only to discover that evil is a malignancy that invades every part of their being. In time its roots reach even into the most sacred areas of their life, choking out all that is good and decent. Ultimately, they find themselves behaving in ways that were once unthinkable to them.
“The temptation to give in to evil comes from us and only us…Lust gets pregnant, and has a baby: sin! Sin grows up to adulthood, and becomes a real killer.”
— James 1:14-15 (MSG)
Lord Jesus, don’t let us be deceived. Evil thoughts are not benign. In time they will destroy us. Deliver us from every evil desire. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
