Today,I was thinking about Alexander the great who conquered the world by age 30, but could not conquer his appetite for alcohol which was his final undoing.I could see clearly that the things that destroy great men are those things they don't deal with on their way up. An appetite or passion you can't control is a dangerous thing on the road of success could be an appetite for money,women,fame or even knowlege.Its like a time bomb,it can go off at anytime. The bible describes it as lust,and says its the root of everything we call temptation.
"if any man be tempted, let him not say he is tempted of GOD, for he is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust..." (James 1:16)
This lust is like a cancer it eats deeper and deeper until it destroyer.
BEWARE,THAT WHICH YOU CALL PLEASURE MIGHT BE THE TIMEBOMB YOU CARRY AROUND,DESTROY IT BEFORE IT DOES YOU.
