Some would be astounded by the human capacity to do the right thing. Most people, if given the choices, would more often "do the right thing" rather than the wrong. Everyone knows what's wrong and what's right. On an elementary level, calling people names, is wrong, being nice and sharing, is right. Why do we constantly sometimes head into the other direction? Why is that we hold on to the bad things when we are offered a better option, leading to a better result? Because, we're scared, and the bad things make us feel secure.
1 Peter 1:15-16 says "just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "be holy, because I am Holy."". For christians that straddle the fence between the call to holiness and sin, the thought of our personal holiness, us doing the right thing, is all for His benefit and none of ours comes across when dealing with our personal devotion. Sometimes, we think that becoming like Jesus, following Him, won't benefit us at all in where we live today.
WRONG SUCKA. Immeasurable blessings are given to those who will single-mindedly pursue the righteousness of God. I know I sounded a bit preachy there but, I can;t help it. It says so in the bible that if you "seek first his kingdom, and his righteousness, all these things will be given to you as well". We are offered a better life, a good life, right there for the taking, it's yours if you choose to follow God. Yet, we still hang on to our sins, our drugs, our sex, our immoralities. Only temporal satisfaction is found in those things, temporary security until your life withers into a pitiful mess. Yeah, a little dramatic, but it's pretty true.
Do everything you can to abandon you're "sinful natures". If it means, canceling your internet cable so you stop looking at porn, haha, I don't know, but anything. Which leads to my next message...
You need to trust God that He can take care of your problems. It's a pretty good deal yo. You follow God, receive his blessings, hand over all your problems to Him, he gets to worry about them, and your mind becomes clear, all this, for no money down, guaranteed free offer. God will give you all these things for free if you just trust in Him. You also have to be willing that He'll take care of your problems in whichever way He wants. If it means, he doesn't give you enough money to pay for your internet cable, and you have no internet, then sorry, stop looking at porn you pervert. hahaha. But on the real, He'll take all your problems away, if you just trust in Him, you have no control over your problem, if you had control over your life, then you'd never have problems right? but you're not ever in total control of your life, and it's God's job to help you get rid of frustration and anxiety in your life, so just let Him do His job okay? Don't forget to say Thank You.
So that's my little devotion there. I hope you got a little something out of it. It's almost 3'o'clock in the morning, I think I should be getting some rest. God Bless. -increase the peace
