Consider Zophar’s description of how a secret sin turns sour in the stomach. While Zophar’s speech making and judgement against Job was completely out of place and later rebuked by God [note: a warning to us counselors that we can be completely right about something and yet deliver the wrong message to the wrong person. Scary!], his description still helps us see how giving in to “sweet nothings” entraps and kills us.
Though evil is sweet in his mouth and he hides it under his tongue, though he cannot bear to let it go and keeps it in his mouth, yet his food will turn sour in his stomach; it will become the venom of serpents within him. He will spit out the riches he swallowed; God will make his stomach vomit them up. He will suck the poison of serpents; the fangs of an adder will kill him. He will not enjoy the streams, the rivers flowing with honey and cream. What he toiled for he must give back uneaten; he will not enjoy the profit from his trading. For he has oppressed the poor and left them destitute; he has seized houses he did not build. Surely he will have no respite from his craving; he cannot save himself by his treasure. Job 20:12-20
Musings on Faith and Psychology 
It sounds like a bittersweet experience. There is a craving for the sin even when we realize that the consequences will be disastrous, but we cannot help ourselves. So what do we do? We lift our eyes to the hills- where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. (Psalm 121:1-2)
I remember doing the paper on Job in your class. Job is a tough book to understand fully. Since then, I have read a couple commentaries and that has helped me understand a little more. Nice to read a tidbit about Job.
I have been wrestling with some thing for a while that I know is a secret sin. It started from having to deal with my husband’s secret sin. I ran from God because I felt he was not comforting me. Basically, food was always my back up. But, I never thought that I would consider an affair with someone. I haven’t even met this person. Just infatuated with someone I will never meet. It know its silly, but sin can feel so real, and so good. The results are NEVER GOOD.
