I will behave wisely in a perfect way. Oh, when will You come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

Psalm 101: 2

Your conduct before God´s path is what really counts. It’s not enough to get from Him directions on any matter whatsoever but what really matters here is your conduct once you’ve been enlightened. Therefore, look into yourself and watch your attitudes once you’ve received the revelation about what steps you’re to take next considering that those who are reckless, those who don’t strive to fulfil those commandments between the lines in the biblical texts are missing out a lot.

The way of The Lord is righteous and immaculate since we’ll find no shortcuts in it nor excuses. My brother, if you are to perpetrate any wrongdoing which you know is condemned by The Scriptures – something wrong which might get your hands stained: don’t do it! Don’t take any road which isn’t thoroughly clean, straight and perfect considering that if you don’t take the right way you’ll actually be walking along with the devil.

We can take the footsteps of our Father and this is His very invitation for us to do. Don’t allow anything from the enemy to be attached to your spirit because this way you’ll be causing The One who’s Holy and can’t live together with error to go away from you. You must do all it takes not to have the filthy one getting into your life; otherwise he’ll destroy you.

It’s not enough to know the divine will and wish meverything in your life to improve; you have to act wisely, with intelligence, on the open way made by The Most High. The Lord taught the psalmist who, through his writings, exhorts us to also walk wisely in the holy way. You’re to constantly keep an eye out never to lose what’s already in store for you. This is the only way to be happy in life and to enjoy the blessings conquered for those who believe in God and His promises.

God turns to those who turn who walk according to His commandments and He exhorts them to please Him. Despising the divine direction is actually letting oneself be fooled by the devil who – out of jealousy for our stand in Christ – will do all he can to prevent us from achieving the best riches from The Lord. Those who behave wisely in the way revealed by The Almighty manage to enjoy His favour.

Walking with an honest heart is the best way to please God. Those who do it will never feel the frustration which sets in those who keep being completely indifferent or rebellious to the divine words. There’s a profitable reward for those people who put into practice the ordinances of The Omniscient considering that all of them are perfect and free from defect. If our Father grants us the secret of pleasing Him what’s the point of not doing it?

One of the best attitudes men can ever take is causing The Lord to be happy with our obedience because His joy is our strength (Nehemiah 8: 10). The opposite is also true considering that The Most becomes unhappy with our wrong decisions. What strength will be left for us? Therefore, do decide to behave wisely regarding the revelations granted to you by The Word. As you do so, you’ll be well-successful.

In Christ, with love,
