I walked into my hotel room yesterday to this sight.
Yes, you read that right. It is $7.50.
When I first saw it, I laughed. But now, it bugs me.
Maybe it is the fact that it is ridiculously over-priced. Maybe it is the fact the bottle is manipulatively placed to tempt you with its water.
I had thought that it was too blatant a ploy for money that no one would fall for it.
There was even a layer of dust on the bottle that suggested unuse to prove me right.
I was wrong.
A few minutes after my dinner last night, I suddenly got thirsty. And that Fiji water had never looked so good!
I didn’t drink it though, I ended up pleading the Blood of Jesus over a cup of water from the bathroom sink.
I am posting this for two reasons. One, to vent at the blatant psychological manipulation. Two, because the Lord pointed out how much this was like sin and temptation in the world.
Especially in this age. With the internet and social media.
Much like this bottle placed on the TV stand in the center of the room, sin is right there, front and center. In your face. All the time.
Unless you look away.
But you can’t just look away because you have to live in this world. And in my case, I have to live in the room.
So what do we do? Throw up our hand in defeat and let sin win?
God forbid.
When I showed my sister the bottle yesterday over Duo, she said for me to ask the hotel staff to take it out of my room. 
So, when you can, flee! 1 Thessalonians 5:22
And when you can’t, stand and plead the Blood of Jesus. Ephesians 6:11
But always, always, talk to JESUS first. He always knows what to do. 1 Corithians 10:13
