# 1 Chronicles 07 #soap ## Title: Sin Doesn’t Just Affect You ## Scripture: (1 Chronicles 7:21-22) “his son Zabad, his son Shuthelah (Ezer and Elead were killed by the men of Gath, who were natives of the land, when they went down to steal their cattle. Their father Ephraim mourned for them many days and his brothers came to console him.” (NET) ## Observation: When we consider doing something we shouldn’t, many times we are not considering much at all. We think about temporary gain or selfish motives. Sometimes it is slightly more altruistic. We think there is a temporary gain by doing something wrong. However, we must also consider the consequences for others we love if things go badly. We are surrounded by others. When we do things, they rarely just affect us alone. ## Application: Always think twice. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for always leading us in the right direction and comforting us when we mourn.
