Ponder the path of your feet, And let all your ways be established. Proverbs 4:26

A simple and constant attention will lead us to live without problems and filled with good things. The path that we choose shows who we are.  The followers of good are never found practicing evil. Don’t take an unknown stand or path because it may lead you to death. Our decisions should be guided by the Lord; so that we can escape the antics of the adversary.

Do you have the habit of reflecting over new situations that arise, or do you decide on impulse?  On examination of something new and sudden do you remember that you are God’s child and that you must bear good witness for the Lord? What are your daily actions and activities based on?  If something is a sin, but causes a pleasant sensation of well-being do you practice it or do you reject it?

Whoever knows that something is evil but insists on accepting and doing it or even to pray about it, is only engaged in self-deception. The Most High does not name evil as good.  If it is evil, then refuse it!  To deliberately sin is to lie to one’s self. Those transgressions that happen in off guard moments or situations must be confessed and forgiven. If we know that the practice of something is wrong and we do it anyway, it becomes more difficult to be delivered from the malignant.

Those that stumble will have many problems, if intentional or not intentional they will be held responsible for their decisions and attitudes.  The best rules come from the Lord, which we find through His Word. Then we can deliberately take up our position in Christ. The Scriptures teach us to ponder the paths we take, so that we do well. Why not do everything right?

Reject what is condemned in the Scriptures because this is God’s will. If you thought there would be no harm in choosing but on saying yes, you started to doubt, take a step back so as not to commit and complicate yourself. The saved can only accept that which has the approval of the Almighty. Be careful, therefore, when you take your steps.

This is for sure: If the Lord has not answered to your needs, this implies that you are displeasing Him. Knowing that He is the Truth, should you continue acting this way? Now, if something doesn’t work, certainly it did not come from God. It is foolish to insist on something that is unproductive. However, if you are certain about something, proceed, and keep going!

Why live far away from the Heavenly Father practicing habits that will cause you great suffering? If you ponder correctly your choices and decisions you will put your life in good order. There will be no reprehension or suffering. Be wise and examine yourself. Obey and fulfill the will of the Father!

In Christ, with Love,
