APRIL 28
Put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts.
We are told to put out of our lives deceitful lusts. In Hebrews 3:1313But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. (Hebrews 3:13) we are warned of the “deceitfulness of sin”. In Mark 4:1717And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. (Mark 4:17), we read of the deceitfulness of riches. The deceitfulness of these things is that they promise happiness but deliver sorrow. Beware of lusts; they will try to push the true source of joy out of your life. If you let them fool you, you will be miserable.
