My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
Proverbs 1:10
You live in a world full of enticement. A world full of shiny, sparkly, colourful and alluring people, places, things and opportunities.
It’s important to acknowledge that the things that entice you actually are enticing. They are things that are intriguing, enchanting and desirable to your Body and Soul.
This is important to acknowledge, particularly if you’ve been told that something isn’t enticing. Because when you can see that it is, then that disconnect can feel like a justification for exploring that which entices you.
However, not all the berries in the forest are good for you to eat. And not everything or everyone you encounter today is something you need to say “Yes” to. Some of it, you need to reject because its designed to destroy you.Yes, you live in a world of enticing things. And yes, it’s okay to say “No” to all the pretty things that would seduce you away from the path.
