where sin leads...
"Establish my footsteps in Your word, and do not let any iniquity have dominion over me."--Psalm 119:133
Habits of righteousness lead to life...but sin always enslaves us, subtly and incrementally, but always. That is the nature of sin; it turns us inward on ourselves. And before we know it we move from satisfaction of a particular desire or an unwise decision to dominion that removes our ability to see things clearly and thus to act in accordance with God's will.
The follower of Christ needs daily to be established in the reality of God's presence, power, and truth.
