Defiled Bed
“Arise and depart, For this is not your rest; Because it is defiled, it shall destroy, Yes, with utter destruction". (Micah 2:10 NKJV) Recognition granted by uncanny people to ill-gotten wealth, sexual immorality and unlawful possession of other people's properties is often mistaken as desirable pleasure. But the scripture says it is an unpleasant luxury - dangerous and defiled. As always, the invitation to evil practices starts with a glamorous presentation of the forbidden fruit in the heart of man, through a window-shopping adventure of the eyes. But as prophet Micah's warning to God's people goes, "Arise and depart". Walking out of an evil party with disrespect is better than waiting in a cold furnace for utter destruction. No one can find a free rest on a defiled bed.
