If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.” Genesis 4:7
It doesn't matter to a lion what part of the body he first starts to eat at. What the lion is confidently aware of is in the end it will devour it's prey. Likewise with sin. It doesn't matter what part of your life sin first affects because sin is proficiently, confidently aware that if it's not brought under the submission of Christ it is like a deadly virus that will infect and destroy lives.
Be warned my brothers and sisters in Christ sin cannot be toyed with. It is pleasurable, yet dangerous. Are you aware that sin is very patient? Unfortunately this was something that King Solomon didn't learned until the latter part of his life. Scripture tells us he was the wisest man that ever lived. But, he was not wiser than sin. Solomon sought God most of his life. But, sin waited patiently for him. Sin sought Solomon's weakness. It found it in women. Sin waited, pounced and devoured the wise king. It turned his heart from the One who gave him wisdom. Sin brought the wise king down and sin will do the same for us if we are not careful.
Don't be devoured by sin but devour sin with the word of God.
