There will always be consequences to our sin. Sometimes we do not connect a problem going on in our lives to the cause of that sin we committed. I have told my children many times when small " you can never throw a stone in a pond with out there being a ripple effect in that pond." When we sin, Yes it does affect others.

I cut some fresh flowers recently from my  flowerbed, and thought about the dying process. It dies right away because it's separated from it's source of life, but it doesn't appear dead immediately. So the longer it is unattached, the more evident death becomes.

One thing I have come to realize about sin and consequences is, I can choose the sin but I can not choose the consequences. Will my sins and consequences effect my children, family,  church, work place, etc.......

Where would we be if there were no consequences?, lawless, hard of heart, allowing ourselves more fleshly pleasure, and most importantly breaking covenant with our Father.

Something to ponder..
