He Departed Not

2 Kings 3:3
"Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom."
A person's attitude toward sin is very important. We are all fallen human beings and therefore sin will be part of our life until we die. However, the degree and frequency of sin's presence in our life depends on our actions and attitudes.
The word "cleave" here means to cling closely to, to pursue closely. This king didn't stumble into sin. He chased it down, went searching for it.
We know our automatic response should be to flee when we are confronted with temptation. And if we do fall, our instant response must be repentance.
What is my attitude toward sin?
