When we are close to God, full of His Spirit, sin loses its appeal. But when we turn our backs on God, and are empty, we try filling up on anything that is appealing. Notice the contrast. Sin is only appealing when it has no rival. It’s like holding a dime in front of your eye, totally blocking the view of s majestic mountain range. That tiny object when taken out of perspective, controls our entire view of the world. But move that dime further away, and your perspective changes. That dime is no longer perceived as a big sight-blocker. Now you see the majesty of the mountain range and small size of the dime. Once we draw near to God, we see His majesty, and sin loses its appeal.
