Good Morning Friends,
“The house of the wicked will be destroyed,
but the tent of the upright will flourish.
There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to
death.” (Proverbs 14:11-12)
There are times when sin seems so right.
After all, doesn’t God want us to be happy. Many
a man has used that excuse for leaving his wife for another woman. Their
reasoning is that God wouldn’t want them to stay in a relationship that doesn’t
make them as happy as they could be. It seems right, but it is a decision that
is rooted in blindness and leads down a path that is wrong.
Taking something that is not mine from a huge
corporation can seem like a right decision. After all, they’ll never even miss
it and it will help make my life better. At least that is an excuse that has
been used many times to justify stealing. It seems right, but it is decision
that is rooted in blindness and leads down a path that is wrong.
Sin can seem right sometimes. The devil wraps
temptation in such pretty wrapping paper. It is so enticing. We are so good at
justifying what we want to do. But following our own way instead of the way of
God is never right. Making choices that contradict righteousness never leads to
a righteous outcome.
The key is not to make decisions based on our
own thoughts and feelings, but on God’s Word. After all, our minds are so
easily deceived and our hearts are so terribly wicked.
Follow His direction and it will always lead
to the right path.
His, by Grace,
Steve
