Lam 1:9
9 Her uncleanness was in her skirts; she took no thought of her future; therefore her fall is terrible; she has no comforter. “O Lord, behold my affliction, for the enemy has triumphed!” ESV
- Living for the moment produces regret. Prov 22:3; 27:12. How far down the road are you looking? Focusing on the moment produces stupidity while looking ahead brings choices that side step regret.
Prov 7:22-23
22 All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter,
or as a stag is caught fast 23 till an arrow pierces its liver; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life. ESV
- vs 20;
- Are you looking ahead? He gets into his mess because he doesn’t look ahead as we are told in Prov 22:3; Satan lays so many traps that would be in plain sight if we look up. Living for the moment is a very dangerous perspective. In the moment things are often distorted.
