It Started
With a Whisper…….
Proverbs
14:12
There is a way that seems right to a man,
but its end is the way to death.
but its end is the way to death.
The thief comes only to steal and
kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
I’m sure Sally never wanted any of this to
happen. At first it was just the change
in her appearance and how she dressed.
Then she started listening to music that wasn’t really appropriate. Next it was that her husband and kids were
keeping her from being happy. Finally it was the choice to have an affair
to make herself happy.
Do any of us really think that Sally just
woke up one morning and said” I think I’m going to ruin my family over the next
few years and I’m going to end everything with an affair”? Of course not..Truth is, It probably started very subtle.
Sally probably started
entertaining thoughts of selfishness like…my life with them is too hard….I
deserve to be happy….why do we always worry about bills?... Then as she
progressed into her own selfishness, it became harder and harder for her to hear God. In our first verse today, we are told that
there is a way that seems right to man that will end in death…meaning it will lead us away from God. In John 10:10 it tells us what satan’s
gameplan is…He only comes to kill and destroy.
You see, even Christians who aren’t
actively seeking after Him can and will turn away from God. And one way satan accomplishes this task is
by making us look at ourselves rather than God.
This doesn’t happen overnight either…It literally starts with a whisper….
Short and sweet today. If you are a Christian then you need to keep
searching after God and His will for your life.
You don’t want to end up like Sally and lose everything based on your
own happiness. If you have never been saved, I mean felt convicted and then
turned your life over to God’s will not your own, please do it now. Leave your sinful past at the Cross because
that is where your sins were taken care of.
Beg God to forgive you, tell Him you are sorry….Now point your life in a
direction that focuses on God. Start
driving down the narrow path, even when it is uncomfortable and painful. Now enjoy that peace in your heart that lets
you know where you are going when you die.
God Bless!
Keep praying for the blog and the book.
Also, put my family on your prayer lists, please.
