Have you ever known anyone that has tried to get you to go do something or be something that you never want to do, or be?
Many kinds of people would lead us away from the truth. Of the love of God. Of everything that Christ has done for us.
And many of us go. Maybe because we don't know any better. Or maybe because a way of life that seems more fun.
And then at some point, we realize that those ways only led us to grief, unhappiness, and a whole host of other unpleasant situations that we wished we would never have followed someone into.
Sin. It takes us in directions sometimes that we never wanted to go. Never thought we would go. And yet, there we are. Hoping for what it can give us and finding out it isn't what we wanted in the first place.
However, there is one person that leads us not into sin, but away from it. God.
His love note for today goes ike this:
The steps of a good man is ordered of the Lord. And he delights in his way. Psalm 37:23
But what does that mean?
When we belong to God, he gives us direction for which way he wants us to go. And then because he loves us, he enjoys seeing that we are going the ways that he wants us to go. It is that simple.
Sin no longer has dominion over us when we are God's.child. We are then under his grace and it does not have to rule over us. Romans 6:14.
It is our choice. Do we want to go down our own path or follow someone that wants to lead us that way. Therefore living the kind of life that brings sorrow to us. Or do we want to take God's path and know that he delights in watching us as we fulfill the things that he has set us for us to do?
Which way do you chose?
Thanks for coming by today Friends. I hope you had a blessed Lord's Day. May Bod bless you in the new week ahead!
