The Deceitfulness of Sin

Here is a subject which bears much earnest consideration. The Lord Jesus at a very suitable
occasion cautioned his disciples, "Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation" (Mark
14:38). The danger of entering into that which is not pleasing to God is so great that watching
alone is not enough. The heart must be instructed through prayer to be able to discern the devices
of the wicked one-. Scripture says, "But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest
any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin."
