Moths

One of the most dangerous consequences of a life of deliberate disobedience is the loss of spiritual discernment. What makes it even more devastating is that, as the prophets warn us, it happens so subtly, so slowly. It's like a moth in a closet slowly eating away at a garment. You don't even notice that His omniscient, loving wisdom has been usurped by your own finite, arrogant, self-serving wisdom. Talk about a tragedy waiting to happen. If you are God's child, you're about to walk off a very high cliff that you don't even know is there. And the people you love are going to be following you right off that cliff.

I am in trouble when I forget that the number one person the Lord needs to deliver me from is myself.
