The way of the wicked is like darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble.

Proverbs 4: 19

People are accountable for their choices in life. Blaming the devil all the time does not add up since he is incapable of forcing anybody to do his will. The devil may even attempt to do so, but it is really up to you to say “no”; even not knowing you cannot allege ignorance considering that The Word of God, which is mandatory for all of us to know, gives us a warning regarding such concern. Your life style points out to what is in your heart, and those who are aware of what The Scriptures say know very well how to get rid of temptations.

Those who do not pay respect to The Lord rather follow those paths which seem good in their eyes, but only the path shown to us by God is good. The Most High is faithful in showing His children The True Way. Those who deny following the path prepared for them by our Father, sooner or later, will surely repent because all ways away from the divine will are those towards death (Proverbs 14: 12). Now those people that put their faith in The Lord prove how good it is to walk in The Light.

The ungodly say that there is nothing wrong with their appealing choices and they even condemn those who, with all their heart, obey The Lord. Actually, those who do not serve God are oppressed by demons who blind their eyes completely. On top of that, their souls are corrupted and because of that they cannot understand that walking with Christ is way much better than following other directions. Yet, when they humble themselves before our Father, and they confess their sins and quit committing them, they begin following the Ways of Light.

Those who do not walk with The Lord can never get it right since they do not have the Light of those who are honest, and they even boast about their wrongdoing. In the eyes of the ungodly that might even seem to be a virtue, but when that is weighed in the “Eternal Balance” they will be found guilty because only those who follow the divine precepts with all their heart can, in fact, walk along the good road – likelihood being always an ambush.

The ungodly trip over so much that they cannot even realize those things that get in their way! All of them go all the way through from bad to worse. However they strive, they can never get rid of the traps set in their ways by the enemy; the spiritual darkness in which they are entangled prevents them from identifying what is harmful for they cannot tell the actions of The Lord from those of Satan’s.

For love, God allows them to face many obstacles on their journey considering that, as they go through hardships, many get tired of their error and then they make up their minds and understand what belongs to those who really believe in Jesus. By doing so, they begin achieving the necessary faith to get rid of the traps set up for them by the devil. If you cannot manage to be well-successful you ought to look into yourself and wonder whether you have valued The Word of God. Walking in The Light is the good thing to go for because this way you will not trip over.

In Christ, with love,
