A Daily Devotional
About consequences and mistakes:
Proverbs 19:15 Do not lie in wait like an
outlaw against a righteous man's house, do not raid his dwelling place; 16 for
though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again, but the wicked are
brought down by calamity. (NIV)
How close you are to God
determines your resilience and your ability to stand against evil. If evil has
its way in your life, you will crumble and fall. If God has His way in your
life, you will come back again and again to see victory. Living in the power of
God's righteousness gives you His power to come back against every adversity. The
evil person is going down to sure defeat because the evil person lives in
darkness and stupidity. Evil people are stupid, because if they were smart, the
evil person would clearly see how wickedness brings devastation upon a person.
Evil people eventually go to prison or die in circumstances related to their
wickedness. Each of us is faced with daily small decisions about doing right or
doing wrong. A Christian is a person vulnerable to the wiles and temptations of
Satan. Satan tries to blind a person and essentially make a person ignorant to
the consequences of ones actions. One of the greatest deceptions used by Satan
is the deception sin has no consequence. Satan succeeds in convincing people
they can sin without any consequence, any payment, or any result. The road of
righteousness is sometimes a hard road to walk. However, at the end of the road
stands Christ who welcomes you into a gleaming city full of eternal joy, life,
and peace.
