THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS AS THEY APPEAR

I had a friend call me from another city who said, "I am looking at a truck on EBAY and it is at a dealership in Nashville. Could you go look at it for me?" The pictures looked great, the price was right, but when I got there the truck looked a little different on the unphotographed side. It was apparent that not only had truck been wrecked but the workmanship in repairing it was very poor.
Things are not always as they appear. That is especially true with the temptations of life. The enemy paints a pretty picture of what could be if we indulge ourselves, but what he don't reveal is the other side of the vehicle. Our indulgence leads to trouble and often times a wrecked life. So the next time you are tempted, make sure you look at the other side of the temptation before you buy into it.
