Entertainning the thought of drinking
Took a long time in this man's life
to learn to flee as fast as I can from sin or the thought of sin.
Oh - yes in my case drinking liquor is a proven sin.
I have learned to never entertain the thought of drinking.
For too much of that kind of foolish thinking
can turn into a full blown desire to drink again.
Usually getting a fast drink down ones throat
before even giving thought to the possible consequences.
Yes, how fast one can talk themselves into a little simple sinning.
Telling ourselves -- one drink would be no big deal.
Maybe a drinking reward is due for me -- I have been sober for a long time.
My wife would never even know that I had one small drink.
I could drink just for a while and then stop again -- right ?
Don't entertain the thought -- flee -- while one still can.
