A Step Away Is a Step Down
"So they arrested him and led him to the high priest's home. And Peter followed at a distance" (Luke 22:54 nkjv).
After Jesus was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane, Peter kept his distance. Yes, Peter followed the Lord, but he followed at a distance.
And distance from the Lord in closeness and fellowship always will be at the foundation of all spiritual regression.
So, if you can't be happy in your sin, that's a good sign. True believers are never happy when they're out of fellowship with God.
And if you're out of fellowship with God, if you've sinned against the Lord, then you'll be an unhappy person.
For instance, we see this in the life of David, the man after God's own heart. He sinned big time. Then in Psalm 32, he described the way he felt: "When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long. Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat" (verses 3–4 nlt). |

But, it's simply not enough...
