One of the great struggles that we have today is who can we trust to give us good guidance or direction. The other day, I went to a very large store looking for a specific item. I couldn’t find the item so I asked an employee did they know where the item was. She told us it was in aisle 3. However, even though she was an employee, she gave me incorrect info. I asked two more employees and finally found the item I was looking for. This happens in every area, whether you need your car repaired, a doctor that can correctly diagnose your issue, what kind of school should you go to, etc. Fortunately for us who trust in Christ, God can be trusted to give us the perfect wisdom and guidance that we need! Isaiah 48:17 (AMP) says: “This is what the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says, “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit (benefit), Who leads you in the way that you should go”. So, instead of asking everybody for help except our Heavenly Father, it’s time to turn this equation around. Go to God first and ask Him for wisdom and guidance every morning. He will teach you to prosper in your way, and will lead you in righteous paths. He will never leave you nor forsake you, so daily walk with God because He will direct your paths!
One of the things that guilty people do is blame others, and attempt to justify their behaviors and decisions. It somehow seems to momentarily soothe their soul. However, they can rationalize their actions and decisions all they want, but it won’t make a difference. Sin and disobedience will always end in destruction. For everyone thinks that they are right and justified just because they have a large group of people agreeing with them. Remember what the Lord Jesus taught us: “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow isthe gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it (Matthew 7:13-14).
Proverbs 14:12 (TPT) – You can rationalize it all you want and justify the path of error you have chosen, but you’ll find out in the end that you took the road to destruction.
