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 us from the enjoyment of Your presence.
Today's readings in the Psalms:
