I try to read from CS Lewis each day. This morning’s thoughts from one of his letters might steer us away from a slippery slope and better yet, guide us closer to God. 

“The corruption of the first sinner consists not in choosing some evil thing (there are no evil things for him to choose) but in preferring a lesser good (himself) before a greater (God.)”

“Every choice reduces a little one’s freedom to choose the next time.”

Some choices are simply bad, harmful, but then there are those which prevent us from receiving God’s best.  It’s that second quote that really grabs my attention: every choice reduces our freedom to choose what is best the next time and the next...the slippery slope, the sneaky prison and before we know it, we are far removed from what God really wants for us. 

So we get to choose: the lesser good or the greater God. 

Blessings
