An evil invitation…
The subtle knocking on our will inviting us to a glance, a second thought, a lingered pondering.
That knocking that says “hey have you forgotten… how do know you’re not missing out…it’s harmless fun…”
That knocking that hints at “you really do know what’s best… that they deserve what you’re about to do and then a little more…”
That knocking that in all honestly invites us to do what we really wanted to do in the first place, to finally fully give into that which we know we shouldn’t.
This knocking is in all of our lives, inviting us all into that which we know will we regret in the long run.
This knocking of temptation is a knocking I all too often answer, all too often invite in, all too often enjoy the company of.
Jesus felt this knocking and said he would not answer it’s invite and wait for what’s best.
I too feel this knocking but all too often say what can I have now.
What’s best, what’s worth waiting…
What do we do when that tap tap tap comes inviting us to do that which we know we shouldn’t?
