We make it seem like rocket science to justify our decisions. We find ways to complicate the simple. Maybe it’s to give ourselves an excuse when repercussions occur, or perhaps we are using the wrong standards. God’s Word is fixed, it’s unchanging Truth. If God’s Word is our standard, rather than what is culturally or worldly accepted, the following is a simple question:
Is there more reason not to do it than to do it? The answers are straightforward!
Controlling our emotions can be difficult; resisting fleeting feelings and momentary selfish desires may seem unsatisfying. However, the more we train ourselves to seek righteousness by God’s standard, the less tempting those situations become and the more control we have. God’s Word is the ultimate standard for living, and we never need to regret making the right decision, as when we choose God’s ways over worldly ways or momentary desires.
