Have you ever had people try to pull you away to do something you know it's not right but they try to convince you that it's okay?

You will hear things like:
"Come with us we are going to let off steam after work and hang out at the local bar"
"Why don't you come eat lunch with us, we have figured out how to get an extra 15 minutes without the boss ever knowing"
"The boss is out of town so don't worry about getting your work done, he will never know it"

"There's no need to attend church - it's just a Sunday night service it's not important"

All of these may seem small to you but God's word gives a great warning about these people who try to pull you away from doing what you know is the right thing to do.

Proverbs 1:8-19 (take time to read this passage)
It's tell us to watch out for these people who try to entice you away from the path that a Christian should always walk. While the text goes into talking about how these people lay traps for others what they don't realize is they are getting caught in their own traps.

Don't let this happen to you is what the proverb is teaching us. Stay on the straight path. Even if the boss is not watching - God is!

Prayer: "God, you know how people are constantly trying to pull us away. Help us to realize this is nothing but an effort put forth by the enemy to get us to stumble."
