James 4:7-8 "Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and God will draw near to you." This is such a simple truth. But sometimes so hard to do. A friend of mine saw a sermon, the pastor asked, "How do you catch a monkey?" You put the nut in a box and the monkey will reach in grab the nut and not let go so he won't be able to get his hand out. Even if there are other nuts all around him. That's a great illustration about sin. We reach in grab the sin and hold unto it. Even if there are lots of other options around us. When we put our desires on the wrong things we get trapped. What is the nut you won't let go of?
