When tempted to sin one must always consider the consequences, but do we often consider the low pleasure yield sin offers in comparison to God himself? First look at Hebrews 11:24-25.

By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.

Sin at its best offers pleasure of a fleeting duration.

Now consider Psalm 16:11

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

God offers pleasure and joy that is complete and forever. The next time you are tempted to sin, remember not only that it is wrong, but it is inferior to what God offers. When we obey more out of delight than duty, God is shown to be more glorious. The pleasure of sin in comparison to the pleasure to be had in God is like comparing a thimble of water to all the oceans of the world. Which would you rather have?
