Fleeting Fantasy"Getting treasures by a lying tongue is the fleeting fantasy of those who seek death." Proverbs 21:6
Fleeting fantasy-a picture of the deceptiveness of sin. Whether our sin is to gain treasure by lying or gossip, or gluttony or pride or ... you fill in the blank, we sin because we want something apart from God's will. We sin because at that moment we want what we want more than we want what God wants. Regardless of our sin, it provides just a fleeting fantasy of what we thought it would do for us. Because of the hollowness of sin it never satisfies for long, soon leaving us empty-handed.
Sin never delivers.
Sin never satisfies.
Sin never fulfills.
Sin never quenches.
Sin is a fleeting fantasy-fleeting, fleeting, fleeting. Perhaps if we can call this to mind when we are tempted we will be less inclined to fall into temptation.
