“Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.” (Proverbs 9:17)
Sin is thrilling, and sometimes the temptation is simply the exhilarating feeling of doing something rebellious. The moment you are told not to, you want to. Pride entices us to rebel against authority and to swim upstream for the sake of being different.
The irony is that everyone wants to be a rebel.
Be unique – do the right thing.
