Reading
Genesis 37:13-35
Most of us would never be content to murder someone, but there are all kinds of sins that we allow ourselves to become very comfortable with. Without writing it down, what sin is such a major part of your thinking that it does not seem to bother you anymore? In other words, what sin have you simply learned to be content with? Below are four ways to become content with sin.
1. Surround yourselves with others who are content with sin.
(And Judah said unto his brethren...)
2. Judge sin by its pleasure now...not its punishment later.
(What profit is it if we slay our brother?)
3. Convince yourself that it is okay, as long as you don't get caught. Have a good cover-up plan.
(...and conceal his blood)
4. Harden your heart to the distress your sin causes others.
(...and the brethren were content.)
Through God's sovereignty Joseph was lifted out of his desert pit and sold into Egypt. Through God's strength each one of us can be lifted out of our prison-like pit of sin. If you feel you are caught in a hole so deep that you cannot get out, God's Word has promises for you.
