Psalm 73:18-20 Truly you set them in slippery places; you make them fall to ruin.

Psalm 73:18-20 Truly you set them in slippery places; you make them fall to ruin. How they are destroyed in a moment, swept away utterly by terrors! Like a dream when one awakes, O Lord, when you rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms.

These sins, Lord, start as a simple little pleasure, almost innocent with just a touch of off color and then, look out! It quickly becomes a full blown problem as all the unintended consequences come roaring in. All the Evil One needs is a toehold, a finger crack and he begins his insidious work to separate me from the enjoyment of Your presence.
