Rebelling against God’s wisdom leads to immorality and spiritual death. God’s wisdom keeps us from living an immoral and defeated life.
The secret is making the right choices. Here’s what I mean. In the light of truth, you and I are able to see both truth and lie, both light and darkness- that which is simple , pure, and clear and that which is deceptive. But enslaved to darkness and plunged into the pit of the lie, we no longer see the truth. We have no other option but to believe the lie. We become victimized in our addiction- in “sin’s foul bondage.”
The secret, of course, is making the right choices every day. So? Watch those choices!...
We need to keep asking ourselves, does this honor the Savior? Does this exalt my Lord? Does this bring glory to His name? Does this lift Him up? How powerful is our focus?
Once you decide to trust God in simple faith and allow Him complete freedom to carry out His plan and purpose in you as well as through you, you need only relax and count on Him to take care of things you once tried to keep under control.
Depend on God in every part of your life, and he will guide, protect and comfort you.
