If Sinners Entice Thee, Consent Thou Not
DAILY VITAMIN
The most powerful force in our material universe is the power of influence. Every day and all year long, people take a different approach to life, some with the theme- good guy turned bad, or a bad to nice evolution. And most of the time, it isn't because they personally got fed up with their situation pro tem, but because they got a conviction to try that different something. Influence drives a man to take into effect a life pattern that meets his envisioned desires, as it appeases his present will, only giving him the audacity to take a risk at it, regardless of whatever consequences there might be. Living in a world of factual temptations, we are in a generation where influence has usurped the place of purpose. Where the supposed godly is open to any move that appeals to his fleshy gain rather than his call to live in "celibacy" from every form of godlessness. The present conditions provide more than enough factual reasons why we ought to compromise. Oftentimes, it gives us two pictures- one of ourselves having nothing despite our right living, and the other being a guy having everything selling dope; and so pressing us to believe that perhaps dope might just be the thing to do. But what does God say? "My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not" (Pro 1:10). God wants us focused on all He's bidded us to do without side distractions from the temptations that hover around us daily. He wants us off the lane of carnality. understand this, to be carnal doesn't literally mean you're evil or bad, it only means you are easily prone to external stimuli. Don't let that devil steal your future by a little "i will" as Eve in the garden. Good things from God don't come by happenstance. They are always planned and purposed for as many who fear Him enough to obey Him above worldly influence. So what's the rule of thumb today; always persevere to say No to ungodliness no matter how sugar coated it may seem, because just like the hospice medications, it may carry the most glaring appearance on the outside, but deep within is the most bitter decoction there can be. Hence, don't be moved by what the ungodly has that you don't. By all means, don't get your hands dirty because the only reward for a man greedy of gain is destruction (Pro 1:19), but for a man who waits for God, the least he can get is the Eagle's strength to soar higher in life (Isaiah 40:31).
