Good morning! How are we faithing? Long hot weekend and for me, I prefer fall weather... so what is happening in your spiritual growth? Are you all messed up with the worlds view on things? Do you only see with your eyes or your feelings? There are many things that appear right or feel right only later to find out they were anything but right. A guy had an affair. He said it felt right. His marriage blew apart, his kids don't want anything to do with him and the woman he had the affair with left. Yeah, it felt right. Was it right? A few moments of gratification, his world blown apart but it's ok because it "feels right"? C'mon, our choices cannot be made on those grounds. We must consider ramifications of all our actions. The Word is very explicit about certain actions and the principles taught apply to the rest. The simplest rule is the golden rule. Before any decision you make, ask if you would be cool with that choice being done to you. The next step is the effect these actions may have on yourself and others. This is a tightrope walk of a life most times but with Jesus, it's all doable. Man, we even have a handbook to guide us. If we but use it we are way better off than if we don't.
Pro 1:7
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Pro 18:2
A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
Eph 2:2-3
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the wisdom of your Word. Lord, we ask forgiveness for our sins. We desire your wisdom in all things. Make us aware of our folly and our foolish ways. Help us live upright and holy for your sake. Help us show your love in all we do. In Jesus name, amen
